What?

Update release docs.

Why?

To document an edgy case scenario when releasing point releases for previous stable releases when a new stable release is still not out, but an RC is. If a new release branch exists, commits should be cherry-picked there, too, for the same changes to be available in the upcoming releases.

How?

By documenting it in the release.md file.
