modules/understanding-upgrade-channels: Drop nightly discussions
We've had this section since back in 42c1006 (Move KB article
"OpenShift 4.2 Upgrades phased roll out" contents into docs,
2020-01-10, #18944), but there are a few wrinkles around nightlies:
* The canonical release controller URIs are now given on [1], and they
prefer [2] and similar pretty URIs instead of the l2s4 business in
the paragraph I'm removing.
* On the release controllers, all single-arch nightlies list
CI-registry pullspecs, e.g. [3]:
oc adm release extract --tools registry.ci.openshift.org/ocp/release:4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-09-16-035656
* CI-registry access requires Red Hat single-sign-on [4] and
membership in the Red Hat Rover group or similar [5]. This is not a
customer-facing option.
* ART promotes a subset of release-controller-accepted nightlies are
promoted to the mirrors like [6]. These have quay.io/ pullspecs and
are customer-accessible.
* But ART stops promoting 4.y nightlies to the mirrors when they
release the first feature candidate for the 4.y (4.y.0-fc.#). And
beginning in 4.12, ART is no longer pushing nightlies to mirrors at
all, since we started cutting sprintly builds (engineering
candidates):

Removing the nightly reference avoids sending customers down this
not-very-useful-for-them rabbit hole. A more reliable location for
learning about things outside of candidate channels is [7], but we
don't need to link to that or discuss it from the upgrade-channel
documentation.
