This resolves a TODO item which had been at the top of this doc since launch, and should simplify following the instructions for future releases.

Selected commit messages:

10c0017 docs/release: Finish updating release instructions to reflect main app

This documents the release process I've been doing since this app
launched as the main Zulip mobile app.

1adc810 docs/release: Incorporate terminology section on alpha/beta/prod

Adapted from the legacy app's version mostly by updating the
discussion of our beta practices. Also putting this section at
the end, to avoid cluttering the way to the main instructions
that we use on each release.

9ebff09 docs/release: Add pointers at top to terminology and setup sections

Logically these sections come before the main instructions, as
they're needed before one can follow those. It's convenient to keep
the main instructions handy right at the top, though, because we
consult them much more often. So these links help make it
comfortable to maintain that inversion.

3e55efb docs/release: Incorporate alpha/beta instructions; declare updates complete

This was the last piece of information where this doc relied on a
reference to the legacy app's documentation.

These are lightly adapted from the version that was in the legacy
app's doc, with updates where needed.
This cuts another dependency on the legacy app's instructions.
