Clarify auto deploy schedule

What does this MR do?

Clarifies our auto-deploy schedule documentation to make it crystal clear slightly more clear when and how MRs need to be merged in order to be included in the monthly self-managed release.

The existing auto-deploy schedule documentation didn't contain quite enough information to answer the questions we had.
