Docs/releases: Add 4.19 relnotes template and update index

The 4.19 release is planned for January 2023.  Please add any updates to
the coreboot code that are should go into the notes between now and
then.  This helps in that you get to phrase the update the way you want,
and it lessens the load for the release managers.

+Plans for Code Deprecation
+--------------------------
+
+
+### Intel Icelake SoC & Icelake RVP mainboard
+
+Intel Icelake is unmaintained. Also, the only user of this platform ever
+was the Intel CRB (Customer Reference Board). From the looks of it the
+code was never ready for production as only engineering sample CPUIDs
+are supported. This reduces the maintanence overhead for the coreboot
+project.
+
+Intel Icelake code will be removed with release 4.19 and any maintenence
+will be done on the 4.19 branch. This consists of the Intel Icelake SoC
+and Intel Icelake RVP mainboard.
+
+
+### Intel Quark SoC & Galileo mainboard
+
+The SoC Intel Quark is unmaintained and different efforts to revive it
+failed.  Also, the only user of this platform ever was the Galileo
+board.
+
+Thus, to reduce the maintanence overhead for the community, support for
+the following components will be removed from the master branch and will
+be maintained on the release 4.20 branch.
+
+  * Intel Quark SoC
+  * Intel Galileo mainboard
