[0.18] Doc: remove old release notes about systemd and riscv changes #16532

   Removes these two paragraphs that were part of the 0.18.0 release notes but which I don't think need to be repeated for the 0.18.1 release notes. The systemd release note in particular links to a section that isn't part of the document.

   ACK 5f5b444cc02190352312021c736d88c925731d90 - this should be fine.

   The major -> minor version change is correct.

    @laanwj Could merge this and then kick off the release?

    After those, if needed: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-process.md#before-every-release-candidate

    ACK. For the future, is there a procedure to follow for adding commits missing from the release notes and credits? I thought it happened automatically but seems not (minor example 194226f6798e59cfd871db0335e078101b165043 that dropped through the cracks in 0.18.0 and here).

    FWIW the release process updates are in master only and not in the tagged releases 0.18.0 and 0.18.1.

    hm that's a good point actually, we need a "pre-release" release process

    what you linked is the process for release candidates, not for releases, the release itself is not a candidate

    e.g. doing a translations update from transifex now would, in principle, require a new round of testing, so would any other change that affects the binary

    the only thing alllowed to do now is set _CLIENT_VERSION_RC to 0 (…which does affect the binary too, but hopefully only in a minimal way…) and change documentation such as manpages
