Description

Describe the change

Update developer docs for the release management procedures for RPMs for the SecureDrop Workstation. We mostly just need to run through the docs that are already here, bring them to the same level of clarity (or better) that we have for the deb releases, and remove any duplicate release documentation elsewhere (in the wiki or RPM repos).

How will this impact users?

This will help make our packaging docs more discoverable and maintainable for developers.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing SecureDrop Workstation RPM release-management documentation and comparing it with the Debian release documentation. Then identify duplicate release guidance in the wiki or RPM repositories; done means the RPM procedures are equally clear and duplicate documentation has been removed.
