Subject: [PATCH] doc: note on release guide to update `main` branch

Added an extra command to make sure to remind me (and other releasers)
to update the `main` branch _before_ cherry-picking the release commit
to the branch.

Adding this command will often avoid unnecessary extra-work in case
there are mismatches between the local state of the main branch and
remote.
