Update release checklist (various process tweaks)

Michał Kępień requested to merge michal/update-release-checklist into master

Ensure the release checklist reflects our current release process:

  • add an additional deadline for introducing code changes ("code freeze"); only test and documentation tweaks can be applied to pending releases after this deadline passes,

  • notify Support and Marketing about an impending release earlier in the process so that they have time to schedule a release note review before the tagging deadline,

  • examine current test results on all platforms in advance, to prevent diagnosing and addressing test failures in the last minute before the tagging deadline,

  • check Perflab results earlier in the process to leave some room for addressing any potential problems before code freeze,

  • ensure empty release notes for the next set of releases are prepared after public release.
