Document channels best practices #343

Closes #341

Note the Channels list is referencing the highly experimental OBS new project, this is why I didn't include this documentation on 1.5 yet, but it's safe to be backported once we can reference stable SLE Micro 5.5 channels.

Coverage of the OS channel feature 🎉 Great job!

There is one thing we still have to make explicit: that channels images get updated "automatically" to update the list of OS images. We may also document what happens with the "older" images removed (i.e., will stay there and could be deleted manually).

I did not manage to implement the limit on the channels and we should also implement annotations/labels on the operator side and visualize them on the UI so that users know which versions are no longer synced. We have issues for all of this when we feel like picking it up.

One point to consider: moving the list of available channels to a dedicated page (for quicker reference), then we can just link to it. Moving in the release notes page could be another option.

Good point, probably worth to move it when we add more channels/flavors with 6.0 images.
