doc: update LTS maintenance to 3 years
The existing official policy was to maintain LTS releases for 2 years.
19.11 and 20.11 LTS releases were maintained for 3 years and there was
not significant issues caused by code divergence from main etc.
Update the policy to indicate 3 years maintenance for LTS releases, but
note that it depends on community support.
