Development version of release notes

It appears the development version of the release notes are not
accessible. If you go from:

https://www.postgresql.org/developer/testing/
to
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/
to
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/release.html

it is fine, but once you ask for the PG 14 release notes it switches to:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/release-14.html

Magnus says this is because we have not branched PG 14 yet, and there is
some code that tries to find the most appropriate release notes. (The
rest of the docs seem to match current git master.) Actually, once we
branch, the PG 14 release notes will be removed from master. Therefore,
any changes I make to the release notes will not appear until each beta
is released since we only build the release notes during packaging.

Anyway, this means that the markup I added post-packaging to PG 14 is
inaccessible, and will not appear until PG 14 beta 2. Here is the
actual markup from my local build:

https://momjian.us/pgsql_docs/release-14.html

I apologize I was not able to get the markup done before PG 14 beta1 was
packaged. If people want to suggest changes to the release notes, they
will have to build it from source or use that URL.

Thinking some more, since we no longer have backbranch release notes in
our master tree, there really is no way to display updated release notes
_except_ when they are packaged in beta/RC/final releases and then
posted to our website. My local URL should be used any anyone wanting
to view the current version, if they don't want to build it themselves.
