chore: split RELEASES.md into releases/ folder (#6918)
This will make it more straightforward to check automatically that the
release notes in the repository match the release notes on github.

v4.1.0
---------
* The error positioning on missing tokens has been [improved](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2393). In particular, this should make it easier to spot errors in incomplete tactic proofs.
* After elaborating a configuration file, Lake will now cache the configuration to a `lakefile.olean`. Subsequent runs of Lake will import this OLean instead of elaborating the configuration file. This provides a significant performance improvement (benchmarks indicate that using the OLean cuts Lake's startup time in half), but there are some important details to keep in mind:
+ Lake will regenerate this OLean after each modification to the `lakefile.lean` or `lean-toolchain`. You can also force a reconfigure by passing the new `--reconfigure` / `-R` option to `lake`.
+ Lake configuration options (i.e., `-K`) will be fixed at the moment of elaboration. Setting these options when `lake` is using the cached configuration will have no effect. To change options, run `lake` with `-R` / `--reconfigure`.
+ **The `lakefile.olean` is a local configuration and should not be committed to Git. Therefore, existing Lake packages need to add it to their `.gitignore`.**
* The signature of `Lake.buildO` has changed, `args` has been split into `weakArgs` and `traceArgs`. `traceArgs` are included in the input trace and `weakArgs` are not. See Lake's [FFI example](src/lake/examples/ffi/lib/lakefile.lean) for a demonstration of how to adapt to this change.
* The signatures of `Lean.importModules`, `Lean.Elab.headerToImports`, and `Lean.Elab.parseImports`
have [changed](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2480) from taking `List Import` to `Array Import`.
* There is now [an `occs` field](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2470)
in the configuration object for the `rewrite` tactic,
allowing control of which occurrences of a pattern should be rewritten.
This was previously a separate argument for `Lean.MVarId.rewrite`,
and this has been removed in favour of an additional field of `Rewrite.Config`.
It was not previously accessible from user tactics.
