Update deprecation policy to 1 stable release
The deprecation policy was written when we had monthly releases (edge+stable), and stable releases were released every 3 months. The release cadence has changed to be longer than 3 months for stable releases, so adjusting the policy accordingly. Note that the policy continues to be "at least x releases", so even though we _can_ remove a feature after one release, it does not mean we _must_ remove it: announcing deprecations early helps users migrate away from features we do not intent to support in future.
