fa051d3 doc: Remove unused section from release process (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  The section does not apply to us, because it is being done by the maintainers of the `bitcoin.org` website, see bitcoin-dot-org/Bitcoin.org#3641 (comment) . Documentation about the process is in their repo: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/blob/master/docs/adding-events-release-notes-and-alerts.md#release-notes

- Update bitcoin.org version

- First, check to see if the Bitcoin.org maintainers have prepared a
release: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/labels/Core

- If they have, it will have previously failed their CI
checks because the final release files weren't uploaded.
Trigger a CI rebuild---if it passes, merge.

- If they have not prepared a release, follow the Bitcoin.org release
instructions: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/blob/master/docs/adding-events-release-notes-and-alerts.md#release-notes

- After the pull request is merged, the website will automatically show the newest version within 15 minutes, as well
as update the OS download links.

- Update other repositories and websites for new version
