Add async update to orchestrate [temp name] handbook page

Nicolò Maria Mezzopera requested to merge nmezzopera-async-updates into master

Why is this change being made?

In this MR we add the async update section, Configure and Release handbook both have matching content, in the process of adding this I changed 3 main things:

  • async updates are not optional but mandatory now
  • made the structure and form of async update less tight and hopefully less time consuming
  • ensuring workflow labels proper usage is part of the update now.

This MR also officially recommends TalTal as a tool to add and keep track of updates.

As always everything is up for discussion and feedback!
