scripts: ver_linux: expand and fix list

It is a pain in the ass to compare the software versions on the running
system (scripts/ver_linux) with the minimal required versions.
Sorting both lists the same way makes side-by-side comparisons a simple task.

fix path to changes.rst

make toolnames uniform with the toolnames in Changes.rst
make version commands uniform with Changes.rst

Add missing tools in ver_linux
 bash, bc, bindgen, btrfs-progs, Clang, gdb,  GNU awk, GNU tar,
 GRUB, GRUB2, gtags, iptables, kmod, mcelog, mkimage, openssl,
 pahole, Python, Rust, Sphinx, squashfs-tools
