Completely revise ReleaseProcess.md with detailed step-by-step instructions for creating new release branches: - Document all required updates to default.xml (default revision, LLVM project revision) - Detail build-toolchain.yml updates (swift_version, untagged repo revisions, snapshot job configuration) - Document dual-workflow structure: release branches use local references for direct testing, main uses @release/X.Y for scheduled builds - Add section on testing changes to release branches without requiring workflow modifications
