updated pull request for next cln release timeline
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates the GitHub pull request template with new release timeline dates and adds a checklist reminder about reversing persistent changes for a downgrade tool. It does not change any code, build scripts, or security-sensitive configuration.
No security action required; this is a routine project-management documentation update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
