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): $ w3m -dump -cols 200 https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/amd64/clients/ocp-dev-preview/ | grep '4[.]12[.]' 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-02-041854 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-05-083442 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-05-155211 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-05-191634 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-05-225149 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-06-023534 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-06-061520 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-06-094950 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-06-134516 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-06-221008 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-07-092951 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-07-144231 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-11-054352 — - 4.12.0-0.nightly-2022-07-25-055755 — - 4.12.0-ec.0 — - 4.12.0-ec.1 — - 4.12.0-ec.2 — - 4.12.0-ec.3 — - 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.
