Subject: [PATCH] versions: trim unused asset and hypervisor metadata
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Drop uscan-only fields, duplicate qemu.tag, and unused image/initrd
URLs from versions.yaml, and teach gen_versions_txt to treat
qemu.version as either a branch or tag ref.
