Formalising a Release Schedule for Docs

Hi,

We've frequently discussed an informal freeze slightly earlier in the
cycle to permit us to focus a bit longer on quality control and
reviewing. (Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseProcess I
see that we discussed this quite some time ago!!)

Building on some work done by Connor, I've prepared this page as a
proposal for the next release cycle. I hope that once finalised we can
use it for each release. Currently I've allowed 3 weeks for the
cleanup/quality control work (between UI Freeze and Documentation
String Freeze). I think that is a decent balance, and gives us plenty
of time to work on new documentation beforehand. It also means that we
can get translators started on the documentation earlier, and have the
benefit of their reviewing too.

Here's the draft page - looking forward to your comments.
