In a6a5d1e6:

Refs #37271, #37272 -- Doc'd remaining DEP 20 changes for users and releasers.

Starting with Django 2028, DEP 20 changes the Python version support
policy, gives every feature release three years of support, and moves
to calendar versions. Documented these in the Python version FAQ, the
upgrade guide, and the release how-to.
