Our release process documentation recommends getting passing tox
results on as many popular linux distributions as time allows. Doing
this by hand is cumbersome, redundant, and error prone.
Add a directory with a helper script that automates the entire process
using docker compose and document its use in MAINTAINERS.rst.

Starting with PEP 621, `pyproject.toml` is the standard way of
specifying project metadata.
Also switch to using the version from `pyproject.toml` instead of having
a west.version python module. Adjust documentation for the same.
Update MAINTAINERS.rst to use build for dist building.

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.
