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.

v4.4.0
---------
* Lake and the language server now support per-package server options using the `moreServerOptions` config field, as well as options that apply to both the language server and `lean` using the `leanOptions` config field. Setting either of these fields instead of `moreServerArgs` ensures that viewing files from a dependency uses the options for that dependency. Additionally, `moreServerArgs` is being deprecated in favor of the `moreGlobalServerArgs` field. See PR [#2858](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2858).
A Lakefile with the following deprecated package declaration:
```lean
def moreServerArgs := #[
"-Dpp.unicode.fun=true"
]
def moreLeanArgs := moreServerArgs
package SomePackage where
moreServerArgs := moreServerArgs
moreLeanArgs := moreLeanArgs
```
... can be updated to the following package declaration to use per-package options:
```lean
package SomePackage where
leanOptions := #[⟨`pp.unicode.fun, true⟩]
```

* [Embed and check githash in .olean](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2766).
* [Guess lexicographic order for well-founded recursion](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2874).

Bug fixes for [#2628](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2628), [#2883](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2883),
[#2810](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2810), [#2925](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2925), and [#2914](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2914).
**Lake:**
* `lake init .` and a bare `lake init` and will now use the current directory as the package name. [#2890](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2890)
* `lake new` and `lake init` will now produce errors on invalid package names such as `..`, `foo/bar`, `Init`, `Lean`, `Lake`, and `Main`. See issue [#2637](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2637) and PR [#2890](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2890).
* `lean_lib` no longer converts its name to upper camel case (e.g., `lean_lib bar` will include modules named `bar.*` rather than `Bar.*`). See issue [#2567](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2567) and PR [#2889](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2889).
* Lean and Lake now properly support non-identifier library names (e.g., `lake new 123-hello` and `import «123Hello»` now work correctly). See issue [#2865](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2865) and PR [#2889](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2888).
* Lake now filters the environment extensions loaded from a compiled configuration (`lakefile.olean`) to include only those relevant to Lake's workspace loading process. This resolves segmentation faults caused by environment extension type mismatches (e.g., when defining custom elaborators via `elab` in configurations). See issue [#2632](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2632) and PR [#2896](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2896).
* Cloud releases will now properly be re-unpacked if the build directory is removed. See PR [#2928](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2928).
* Lake's `math` template has been simplified. See PR [#2930](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2930).
* `lake exe <target>` now parses `target` like a build target (as the help text states it should) rather than as a basic name. For example, `lake exe @mathlib/runLinter` should now work. See PR [#2932](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2932).
* `lake new foo.bar [std]` now generates executables named `foo-bar` and `lake new foo.bar exe` properly creates `foo/bar.lean`. See PR [#2932](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2932).
* Later packages and libraries in the dependency tree are now preferred over earlier ones. That is, the later ones "shadow" the earlier ones. Such an ordering is more consistent with how declarations generally work in programming languages. This will break any package that relied on the previous ordering. See issue [#2548](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2548) and PR [#2937](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2937).
* Executable roots are no longer mistakenly treated as importable. They will no longer be picked up by `findModule?`. See PR [#2937](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2937).
