[doc] update release-process.md and backports section of CONTRIBUTING
- Mention which directories contain the respective unsigned tarballs - Clarify that bitcoin.conf might not need to be updated - Specify where to put historical release notes if there is already something in release-notes.md - Clarify what exactly is the problem with running guix-codesign more than once - Correct number: 6 codesigned attestations are needed before uploading binaries - Remove scp command which is outdated - Remove server path which is outdated - Specify that translations update should happen before branch-off, not before each release candidate - Mention that you should notify lists when RCs are available - Put "Archive the release notes" as a separate step, since creating the github release has a dependency on it. - Put bitcoincore.org website updates as a separate step, since updating packaging repos may have a dependency on it. - Update "bitcoin-dev mailing list" to "bitcoin-dev group" - Document that maintainers should create PRs to collect backports - Remove section about not uploading `*-debug` files, reader should upload all build artifacts. - Torrent is created automatically, so delete instructions. - Mention that server also generates ots file automatically.
