Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU sudo apt git instead of git-core

Ubuntu has changed packing and git-core is not available anymore,
it is now just plain git.

(pelion-venv) jankii01@ubuntu1804:~/poky/documentation$ sudo apt-get install git-core
[sudo] password for jankii01:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'git' instead of 'git-core'
git is already the newest version (1:2.17.1-1ubuntu0.8).
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  linux-hwe-5.4-headers-5.4.0-65
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded.

Documentation should match the current package name to avoid confusion/warnings.

Change can be verified by running the following script

set -ex

distros=("debian:8" "debian:9" "debian:10" "ubuntu:16.04" "ubuntu:18.04" "ubuntu:20.04")
for i in "${distros[@]}"
do
   folder="${i/:/.}"      # change : to .
   mkdir -p $folder
   cd $folder
   echo FROM $i > Dockerfile
   echo RUN apt-get update \&\& apt-get install -y git >> Dockerfile
   cat Dockerfile
   docker build -t test-$folder .
   cd ..
   rm $folder/Dockerfile
   rmdir $folder
done
