[Doc] Update the release process about how to release C++ and Python client

Search before asking

• I searched in the issues and found nothing similar.

What issue do you find in Pulsar docs?

After #17724 moves pulsar-client-cpp and pulsar-client-python to new repository, the original release process is no longer valid.

What is your suggestion?

IIRC these two clients have their own release cycle, thus the issue here can be simply to remove the related sections in the current release process and then write the new one in each repo.

Any reference?

Hi @merlimat @BewareMyPower

Currently (2.8.4), even though C++ and Python are moved out of the main Pulsar repo, their release notes are still together with the Pulsar core.

• Pulsar 2.8.4 release page

In the future, will the release notes of C++ and Python be in their repos and not bundled in the main Pulsar repo? Just like Go, C#, and Node.js?

• apache/pulsar-client-cpp

• apache/pulsar-client-go

Thanks for your answer!

More context:

I ask this because we (@SignorMercurio @urfreespace) are implementing #17310

We need to change the workflow if the source truth of release notes is changed.

IIRC @BewareMyPower is going to update the C++ release process after 3.1.0 released. @BewareMyPower could you create a corresponding subtask in https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-cpp?

Created: apache/pulsar-client-cpp#123

@BewareMyPower @RobertIndie @shibd

For the C++ client, we have https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-cpp/wiki/Committer-Release-Guide now. What about the Python client?

[BewareMyPower]

@tisonkun I will write the process after the Python client 3.0.0 is out.
