docs: Describe how to update N Preview test devices on N release 

Noted that devices that are signed up for OTA updates will
automatically update to release version; devices that you flash
manually (and don't subsequently sign up for the beta program) will
need to be flashed with the production version.

See first comment for doc stage location.
