claude[bot]andClaude Opus 5.5 dc580b6529 docs: note that beta.1 waits for the Chromium roll (#54649)
* docs: note beta.1 waits for the Chromium roll

The Releases WG moved alpha-to-beta promotion to release automation,
gated on the release branch's Chromium reaching the version in Chrome's
Beta channel. beta.1 is no longer a fixed date, so stop listing it as one
of our solid release dates and note it can land a few days late.

* docs: explain beta.1 delay without roll jargon

Say plainly that beta.1 can be late when the release branch has not yet
been updated to the Chromium Beta-channel version, instead of referring
to "our Chromium roll" without explaining it.

* docs: link Chrome's Beta channel in release timeline

Link to Chromium's release channel page and briefly explain that the
Beta channel is where each Chrome version is tested for about four weeks
before stable.

* docs: clarify which release dates are fixed

Replace "our solid release dates" with plain wording: alpha.1 and stable
ship on the scheduled dates, while the prereleases in between, including
beta.1, don't have fixed dates.
