Releasing doc: clean up duplicate sentence and outdated ninja dist`
0.52.0 is from 2019 and no longer relevant (even Debian stable is at >1.0 by now), so no need to still document `ninja dist`. And it's especially unhelpful since `ninja dist` doesn't support all the options discussed on this page for `meson dist`.
