docs: Document non-transitive equality behavior of DistroBase
Metadata
Current evaluation
Documentation request to clarify non-transitive equality behavior in DistroBase.__eq__. Open 81 days with no labels or maintainer response.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is a valid documentation request from a maintainer (lengau) about the non-transitive equality behavior in DistroBase.__eq__, but it has no labels, no assignee, and no maintainer acknowledgment or comments. Per guidelines, unlabelled issues without maintainer response need triage before action is taken.

Issue body
The `DistroBase` class implements a custom `__eq__` method that supports partial version matching (e.g. comparing `"ubuntu@24.04"` to `"ubuntu@24.04.1"`).
This leads to non-transitive equality:
* `"24.04" == "24.04.1"` is `True`.
* `"24.04" == "24.04.2"` is `True`.
* `"24.04.1" == "24.04.2"` is `False`.
We should document this behavior clearly in the class docstring and any relevant developer guides to prevent developers from making assumptions about transitivity in comparisons (which can affect sorting, collections, or search logic).
