Remove alpha/beta/rc release notes

Description

Before Django 1.6, we copied the release notes for each version of Django to something like docs/releases/1.5-alpha-1.txt when issuing prereleases. I'd like to remove these notes from master because:

  1. We don't have separate release notes for prereleases anymore.
  2. I don't think their existence has much value at this point since all these versions except 1.4 are unsupported and they are largely duplicate content of the final release notes.
  3. They add overhead when fixing broken links when we move or remove code in new versions of Django.

Any objections?
