2.12-rc1 and stable-v2.12 branch created. I've modified the generic instructions to reflect the de facto practise of using "rc1" tag in the main branch as the branch point for the stable series. We've done this for a few releases and this seems to be a good practise. This makes it easy to see in main branch history, where the stable releases branched off.
FYI @thesofproject/maintainers

v2.12-rc2 tagged today https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/tree/v2.12-rc2
The milestone list is now empty and we have no P1 bugs filed, so based on current information, we have no expected changed and we can release final v2.12 next week.
