docs: Elaborate on supported versions

Browse Source 
The link to the GNOME schedule was added because of some confusion
of which versions are supported upstream. Briefly outline the
policy of "last two stable + current main", so that the information
can also be deduced from tags etc. without scrolling through the
schedule calendar.

While at it, update the link to the schedule to point to the
future release.gnome.org page.

Death to the wiki!

## Supported versions
Upstream gnome-shell only supports the most recent stable release series,
the previous stable release series, and the current development release
series. Any older stable release series are no longer supported, although
they may still receive backported security updates in long-term support
distributions. Such support is up to the distributions, though.
Please refer to the [schedule] to see when a new version will be released.
