doc: release_cycle: Use variable substitution for next version
To avoid the problem fixed in commit 57a95d522ca8 ("doc: release_cycle:
fix next release version") moving forward, make use of the variable
substitution feature of rST. This adds a next_ver variable and
references it in all of the places where I had been listing the version
being worked on.
