Document that all unmerged feature PRs will be moved to next milestone when the feature freeze time comes (#29578)

Some contributors may be surprised when moving the feature PRs to the
next release when the feature freeze time comes. So this PR documents
the habits we have done for feature freeze so people expect the
maintainers' behaviors. We are sorry for disturbing you with the
milestones changes.

A feature freeze announcement should be published 2 or 3 weeks before
the feature freeze by maintainers.

We adopted a release schedule to streamline the process of working on, finishing, and issuing releases. \
The overall goal is to make a major release every three or four months, which breaks down into two or three months of general development followed by one month of testing and polishing known as the release freeze. \
All the feature pull requests should be
merged before feature freeze. And, during the frozen period, a corresponding
merged before feature freeze. All feature pull requests haven't been merged before this feature freeze will be moved to next milestone, please notice our feature freeze announcement on discord. And, during the frozen period, a corresponding
release branch is open for fixes backported from main branch. Release candidates
are made during this period for user testing to
obtain a final version that is maintained in this branch.
