Motivation
Follow-up to #2392, documenting local version identifiers used for pytorch when building against dev ROCm releases.
I also took the opportunity to clarify that each release distribution channel (index page on a hosted domain) contains only release artifacts of the matching release type, except for "dev releases". This detail is important because one can build a release of any type, and then attempt to upload to any release distribution channel (with sufficient permissions).
