doc: remove How Does LTS Work section from Collaborator Guide
The How Does LTS Work section duplicates material in the release plan,
to which there is already a link in the doc. Unfortunately, it has gone
out of sync with the release plan, resulting in incorrect material being
in the Collaborator Guide. (The Release WG needs to approve certain
changes, not LTS WG as the guide currently says. It used to be the LTS
WG, but that changed.)
Instead of duplicating material in the Collaborator Guide and risking
that the two documents contradict each other again, instruct the reader
to refer to the release plan as the canonical source of information.
