[llvm] [llvm][docs] Remove guidance on adding release:reviewed label (PR #164395)

[Cullen Rhodes via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/c-rhodes created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/164395

"How To Release LLVM To The Public" [1] mentions to add the release:reviewed label once a bug has been reviewed, but looking at the label [2] it seems this hasn't been followed for quite a long time, so I propose we remove it.
