Create a Node-API release checklist #47664
Description
What is the problem this feature will solve?
We need to make sure when we release a new version of Node-API we do not overlook any of the steps.
What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
Let's add a document to the guides containing a list of steps necessary for creating a Node-API release PR.
What alternatives have you considered?
Looking at existing release commits to remember the steps. However, a new step will be added at https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/45715/files#diff-2057dbe503dbb37a65a74cf86e056d50c27ba828070577e0f7f07e734365c9bcR658 which previous releases will not reflect.

With #45715 landed, the document must also mention that, as part of the release process, not only will new APIs in the headers have to be moved from
NAPI_EXPERIMENTALsections toNAPI_VERSION >= nsections, but, in the implementation files (node_api.cc and js_native_api_v8.cc), checks of the formif (env->module_api_version != NAPI_EXPERIMENTAL)have to be replaced with checks of the formif (env->module_api_version <= n).doc: document node-api version process
