chore: Delete old press releases pages

Miguel Duque requested to merge chore-delete-old-press-release-pages into master

Why is this change being made?

Deletes /press/release/ pages that have unwanted redirect chains going on. This content already lives in Contentful and is being served by the BE app/repo.

The review app shows multiple requests for the same url where only 1 (served by BE) is successful.
