Updates for clarity and to match current practice.
Reflect some practical changes that I've been doing in the past couple
of release that cut down on review latency once it's been agreed that
it's release time. In particular, we are cutting out the review cycles
for forking the release branch, changing the versions, and tagging the
main branch after it's moved from the release branch.
Rework the section in to step 1-2-3 style while we're here, to make it
easier to follow along with.

Just some cleanups and clarifications on how I'd like to do this going
forward. The main clarifications are around SCHEMA_VERSION, since this
is changing in 0.8 and I want to make sure we're all on the same page.

Minor tweaks from testing the 0.7.3 release:
- mention Fedora as a Linux distro as as I've received reports of
active west users on that distro
- update board name for nrf52 board

A few process changes from doing a point release, mainly that we'll
cut an alpha release instead of an RC. That's being done because
uploading an alpha is something a maintainer can just do, without
having to go through the usual "bump version.py" review process.

This is where we'll put notes for west maintainers.
For now, it includes information on cutting a release.
