FINERACT-2448: standardize on release ready, improve releases section

Browse Source 
I want us to standardize on being "release ready". That is, we agree to do our best to keep incomplete features off `develop` and to keep the build passing.

As part of this change I also want to update the [VERSIONS section in the README](https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/d093a089c9c13051eb8922100e38e44a3933fd9c/README.md#versions) to more accurately reflect how we do releases today.

VERSIONS RELEASES
============ ============
A release version is derived from source control. The version will include `-SNAPSHOT` unless the current branch looks like a release or release maintenance branch. See `gitVersioning` settings in `build.gradle` for details. [Official releases](https://fineract.apache.org/#downloads) are created quarterly, at the end of each quarter. Our [documented release procedure](https://fineract.apache.org/docs/current/#_releases) follows the [ASF release policy](https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html).
The latest stable release can be viewed on the develop branch: [Latest Release on Develop](https://github.com/apache/fineract/tree/develop "Latest Release"). See <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Fineract+Releases> for an archive of historical release notes along with JIRA issues relevant to each release.
The progress of this project can be viewed in the left hand navigation under [this page of the wiki](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Fineract+Releases) See <https://github.com/apache/fineract/releases> for a list of PRs and contributors for each release.
EOL/unsupported releases are [archived](https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#archived).
Versioned build products created from the `develop` branch will include `-SNAPSHOT`. See [related settings](https://github.com/qoomon/gradle-git-versioning-plugin) near `version` and `gitVersioning` in `build.gradle` for details.

TIP: Be **release ready** and reduce release time by weeks. Keep incomplete features off `develop` and fix the build as soon as it breaks. If `develop` is kept release ready, this 17 day timeline can be reduced to about a week: Skip the "ca. 2 weeks" indicated in <<Step 3: Create Release Branch>>.
