Having the release notes mostly ready one week before the release
allows for better review.
Some statistics, the actual release date and commit ID can only be
filled in on release day, but there's a tried & true technique for
that: placeholders.
It's also a nice touch to have the release notes of a release within
its source tarballs, so push them right before creating the release
(since changes in Documentation/releases won't break coreboot in
any way).

We keep a mirror in case any of the originals disappear, but we also
have to remember to update it.

We plan to retire that symbol after 4.11 as well, with relocatable
ramstage becoming the normal mode of operation.

leading to a sphinx warning.

POWER8 is a specific implementation of ppc64, which is by now outdated
(POWER9 has been on the market for a while). Rename arch/power8/ to
potentially cover a wider range of hardware.
TEST=Toolchains built before/after this commit can build coreboot for
emulation/qemu-power8 from before/after this commit.

A colon usually indicates that something related follows. But in
Documentation/releases/index.md, nothing followed. Fix this by swapping
two lines.

This adds the release notes for all of our old releases that have notes
to the documentation directory. The release notes for the next release,
4.9 is added here as well.
I would request that people document their changes for the next release
themselves if they wish them to be in the release notes.
