Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#24583: doc: Add template for empty release notes

fa4943e8df doc: Add template for empty release notes (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  * Move release process notes from the release notes to the release process documentation
  * Clarify that wallet RPC or Settings related release notes snippets should not be duplicated. I think it should be sufficient to only mention them in the wallet section and leave them out from the general RPC section.
  * Create an empty template to ensure the release notes can be cleared with a single `cp` command. Also, this ensures that the "no duplication" note isn't deleted again. (We used to have it in at least the 22.0 and 21.0 release notes: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.0.md#updated-settings , but it was lost in the 23.0 notes)

#### After branch-off (on the major release branch)
- Update the versions.
- Create the draft, named "*version* Release Notes Draft", as a [collaborative wiki](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/_new).
- Clear the release notes: `cp doc/release-notes-empty-template.md doc/release-notes.md`
- Create a pinned meta-issue for testing the release candidate (see [this issue](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17079) for an example) and provide a link to it in the release announcements where useful.
- Translations on Transifex
- Change the auto-update URL for the new major version's resource away from `master` and to the branch, e.g. `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/<branch>/src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.xlf`. Do not forget this or it will keep tracking the translations on master instead, drifting away from the specific major release.
#### Before final release
- Merge the release notes from the wiki into the branch.
- Merge the release notes from [the wiki](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/) into the branch.
- Ensure the "Needs release note" label is removed from all relevant pull requests and issues.
