Update TW items in RP template

Fiona Neill requested to merge fneill-update-rp-template-tw-checklist into master

Why is this change being made?

In the Structural checklist in the release post MR template:

  • Removes instructions for Before the Monday of release week. The TW Lead no longer double-checks all individual release post items during the structural check so this step is no longer needed.
  • For the instruction to check cover_img:, cleans up the language to make less confusing:
    • Removes add. The instruction involves removing the cover_img: license block, and add makes this confusing.
    • Removes reference to YAML file. The cover_img: is in releases/posts/YYYY-MM-DD-gitlab-XX-Y-released.html.md, which is not a YAML file.
