wiki: MinorReleases has an out of date statement on backporting policy

[dmitshur]

The https://golang.org/wiki/MinorReleases page currently still says:

"Use a more recent stable version" is a valid workaround, so very few fixes will be backported to both previous issues.

That statement isn't true per discussion in #34536. We should either update it or remove it. If it's not already said elsewhere on the page, we should likely replace it with something similar to what's written in #34536 (comment).

Example confusion: For #40917, I read that sentence and understood that if we backport the fix to Go 1.15, a "valid workaround" would be to tell users "use a more recent stable version" (e.g., Go 1.15.1).

That seems to contradict #34536 (comment), which says it should be ported to both Go 1.14+1.15, as the regression was introduced in 1.14.

I'm going to remove the incorrect statement for now, but keep this issue open because I think we should add something that makes the policy as described in #34536 (comment) clear for people who read only https://golang.org/wiki/MinorReleases.

Edit: Done in wiki commit 32013d6f.

Hmm, I think it'll be more clear to keep this issue about the clearly incorrect statement as mentioned in the original issue comment (which has been fixed, see comment above), and reopen #34536 to finish documenting the policy on the MinorReleases wiki page.
