Closes #1831

Summary

  • Clarify CPython backport policy in the development cycle guide.
  • Move the practical backport procedure into a dedicated getting started page and link it from the Git bootcamp.

AI disclosure: OpenAI Codex assisted with drafting and editing these documentation changes. I reviewed the changes against the existing guide.

Validation: Not run.

I removed the extra blank lines from this file. The only remaining change is the backporting entry in the toctree, which makes the new guide discoverable.

The issue asks for the backport policy and the practical guide to be separate. This page holds the moved step-by-step procedure so it can be found independently in Getting Started; the Git boot camp now points readers here. I also removed the incidental blank-line changes from the index.
