This PR updates the Release Planning section

• https://docs.rapids.ai/releases/planning/

to bring it up to the current planning/release process post RSN-47

• https://docs.rapids.ai/notices/rsn0047/

This focuses on using CALVER (YY.MM.PP) instead and + an un-changing main development branch

ok now that we ahve the labels sorted out... I put this up as a draft PR as therei s one key thing I don't know about.

This page includes a link to a centralized release dashboard of some sort... it originally pointed to a specific repository in cudf.

I added one of the seemingly related "release dashboards" that ops used during the release itself created by @AyodeAwe , but I don't think that's correct either.

Will need some input to get this set up and aligned with the current release planning paradim and discuss it with @mmccarty as I believe he has been one of the folks driving the rapids planning.

This looks like very old docs, older than my time here. @bdice do you possibly have context on the page @rockhowse is updating here?

@rockhowse I think you're correct to use one of the release dashboards we've used in recent past. You probably want to involve @caryr35 here as well as he's got a lot of coverage in the area of "release planning".

[rockhowse]

I pinged @caryr35 and the dashboard and his initial response was that we don't really have an "all rapids release board" we can link to currently.

The original one linked to cudf for v0.5... so back in 2019 and just 404's.

If we don't have a "rapids release board" vs one per repo we remove it for now and instead update it later with a more comprehensive view (maybe board/repo etc.)

[bdice]

Nowadays each project uses their own board and their own planning process. I would delete this page.
