Update the stabilization guide to refer to the new placeholder system 

The stabilization process is changed to now use `CURRENT_RUSTC_VERSION`
instead of spelling out whatever version is currently the latest.
This placeholder will be replaced during the release process with the
correct version.

Note: Before we stabilize any feature, it's the rule that it
should appear in the documentation.
### Determining the stabilization version
The version in which the feature will be stabilized *must* match
the value of [the `src/version` file in `master`][src-version] when the PR is merged.
It's worth checking [the version schedule on the Forge][forge-versions] to see whether
changes are coming soon. You'll usually use the version labelled "Nightly".
"Nightly" is two versions higher than the current stable release,
since what's currently in beta will be the next stable release,
and any changes you're making now will be in the one after that.
No PR is merged instantly, so you'll want to be careful around release time.
The version bump happens [the Friday before][forge-release-process] the stable release,
not the same time as the release. So if you're opening a PR shortly before then,
be prepared to update the version, or consider just opening it for one version
higher than the current nightly, with a note saying not to merge until
after the upcoming version bump.
