Simplify release-note links to back branches.
Now that https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/ is populated, replace the stopgap text we had under "Prior Releases" with a pointer to that archive. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/e0f09c9a-bd2b-862a-d379-601dfabc8969@postgresql.org

Retiring a Branch
=================
-After support is dropped for an old branch, remove the link for it
-in HEAD's doc/src/sgml/release.sgml. If the newest back branch hasn't
-yet reached GA release, do the same there. (Given our current development
-calendar, the latter should seldom be necessary.)
