Create Example file for Release Post `extras` content type
Why is this change being made?
- Addresses Product#3709 (closed)
Solve for non-standard product announcements in the release post
- Addresses Product#4044 (comment 994510509)
we have scenarios that don't fit into deprecations, removals, or breaking changes, and we need to extend the tertiary sections in the post to give each announcement a place to "live."
The release post template allows for non-standard announcements via the extras
block and it is documented, but it is underutilized. The MR creates an example block that follows the structure of other tertiary content blocks and it updates the release post template to follow this structure as well.
