chore(release-notes): keep release notes in release-notes-published
As of Forgejo 8.0.1 the release notes were only available in the
description of the corresponding milestone which is problematic for:

- searching
- safekeeping

The release-notes-published directory is created to remedy those problems:

- a copy of all those release notes from the milestones descriptions
  is added.
- a reference is added to the RELEASE-NOTES.md file which will no
  longer be used.
- a symbolic link to the RELEASE-NOTES.md is added for completeness.
- the release process will be updated to populate release-notes-published.

The RELEASE-NOTES.md file is kept where it is because it is referenced
by a number of URLs.

The release-notes directory would have been a better name but it is
already used for in flight release notes waiting for the next
release. Renaming this directory or changing it is rather involved.

The verification of this token was not done in constant time and was susceptible to [timing attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack). A pre-condition for such an attack is the precise measurements of the time for each operation. Since it requires observing the timing of network operations, the issue is mitigated when a Forgejo instance is accessed over the internet because the ISP introduce unpredictable random delays.<!--description-->

It was fixed so that such a deletion is only allowed if the user performing the merge has write permission to the repository from which the pull request was made.<!--description-->
