Release checklist: minor updates to the publicize section (#2567)
* Release checklist: minor updates to the publicize section - Clarify which account to use when posting to social media about the release. - Clarify which Slack channel to post to. - Replace "Month in WordPress" with a Marketing team amplify request as the former doesn't exist anymore and was replaced by the latter Plus fixes a line break issue in one of the items of the release section by adding to spaces to the line before it to force a soft line break.
