docs: document configurator macOS signing and WASM SITL/PWA release flow

[sensei-hacker]

What

Updates docs/development/release-create.md to reflect two post-9.1 release-process changes:

1. Configurator macOS code signing + notarization (from inav-configurator PR iNav LED feature does not support AUX mode this is present in Betaflight #2720). The signed build is produced only by .github/workflows/release.yml, which triggers on a tag push (v*.*.* / *.*.*). This makes the configurator tag-first, so the doc now:

   • sequences SITL/WASM-SITL into the repo before tagging,
   • adds a nightly dry-run (verify the nightly macOS artifact with codesign --verify / xcrun stapler validate) so a tag isn't pushed blind,
   • documents fallbacks (workflow_dispatch, or a throwaway -sign-test tag) if the nightly doesn't fire, and
   • warns that signed artifacts must not be modified after the release build.

2. WASM SITL + browser PWA build for 10.x+ (configurator PR FuriousFPV FortiniF4 initial support #2729), in addition to the native per-platform SITL binaries.

Firmware remains verify-before-tag; only the configurator is tag-first.

Test plan

Doc-only change. Rendered markdown reviewed; no code/build impact.

High-Level Assessment

The documented approach fits the existing tag-triggered signing constraint. A nightly signing dry-run minimizes immutable-tag risk, while workflow dispatch and disposable test tags provide appropriate fallbacks without changing the release architecture.

Document signed configurator and WASM/PWA release flow

• Reorders the release procedure so native and WASM SITL assets are merged before configurator tagging. Documents nightly macOS signing validation, tag-triggered notarized builds, fallback triggers, immutable signed artifacts, PWA packaging, and the distinction between configurator tag-first and firmware verify-before-tag workflows.
