Summary

action-prepare-release has been deprecated in favor of the prepare-release functionality built directly into Craft. This updates the README to reflect that change.

  • Update Quick Start link to point to Craft's GitHub Actions docs
  • Replace CalVer section with Craft-native versioning.policy: calver config (the old calver workflow no longer exists)
  • Update Merge Target section with a Craft reusable workflow example instead of referencing the old "Prepare release" step
  • Replace action-prepare-release reference in "Under the hood" with a link to Craft's GitHub Actions

- Update Quick Start link to point to Craft's GitHub Actions docs
- Replace CalVer section with Craft-native versioning.policy: calver config

## Summary

Updates the SDK releases guide
(`develop-docs/sdk/processes/releases.mdx`) to reflect changes made in
`getsentry/publish` (getsentry/publish#7129), replacing the deprecated
`action-prepare-release` with Craft's built-in GitHub Actions.

- Replace `getsentry/action-prepare-release@v1` with
`getsentry/craft@v2` composite action in all workflow examples
- Update `actions/checkout` from v3 to v4
- Add CalVer section with new Craft-native `.craft.yml` config
(replacing the old calver workflow approach)
- Add Merge Target section showing the `merge_target` input usage
- Add links to Craft's GitHub Actions docs, noting the reusable workflow
as an alternative for repos outside `getsentry`
- Update the "Multiple Craft Configs" section to reference
`getsentry/craft@v2`
- Remove outdated example PR links that referenced the old action

**Note:** The manual Sentry Release Bot token generation pattern is kept
since `getsentry` repos need it — `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot trigger
downstream workflows (publish issue creation).
