Add note to OCM v1.3.1 about Policy v0.19.0

[JustinKuli]

The rest of the docs don't seem to specify a version for the Policy addons, but it would be nice to add the newest release to the OCM release note, just for awareness.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added an "Add-on Components" subsection to the release notes clarifying that add-ons release independently.

We'll hopefully have more add-ons that could be added to the releases here. Since we're setting precedence, I propose making the header and note about release independence more generic and then creating a list with sub-bullets, version, and release date.

Are there any release notes we'd want to add to the list aside from changelogs? And I'm also not sure how we're going to handle versioning for the async clusteradm updates. Might need more input on that. I wonder if a v1.3.1-1 or even v1.3.1-1-policy tag might do it...

I like the idea of making the section for all addons! Sounds like the pattern could be that addons add their releases under the latest OCM release they've been tested with? Ideally they don't get added to older releases, unless necessary.

Regarding the format, I'm not sure that nested bullets will always be rendered correctly, so personally I think the heading + bullets format that the highlights section of 1.3.0 used might be more consistent. Let me try that out, with some details of the new release.

Regarding the clusteradm update, I don't really have a preference. Adding an additional version field seems like a hassle or a point of confusion. But changing what is already in v1.3.1 is also confusing.
