Closes #1306

Uploaded the documentation for "how to release" based on recent experience with releasing 0.8.0 (See PyIceberg 0.8.0 release notes)

Additional potential improvements

Use gh command to trigger GitHub Actions and download artifacts (similar to iceberg-go release script)
Consider triggering Python release github action on tag push. Is it possible to run the release action once instead of twice (main + tag)?

Lets run this for 0.8.1 patch release
