Split RELEASES.md into new "2021 edition" file

To ensure that splitting the file didn't break formatting, I ran the following commands: ```sh pulldown-cmark <RELEASES_2021_EDITION.md >rendered_2021.html pulldown-cmark <RELEASES.md >rendered.html diff rendered.html rendered_2021.html | rg "^>" ``` At first the diff included multiple new lines in `rendered_2021.html`, indicating links that weren't rendered to HTML because their target was missing. After I added those targets, but diff was remove-only. The general policy for RELEASES files would be to update the _2021 file until edition 2024 comes, then we'd create a RELEASES_2021_EDITION file (also linked from the RELEASES.md file), and so on. We could optionally add a RELEASES_2018_EDITION and/or a RELEASES_OLD file, but that decision is outside the scope of this commit.
