Move the LTS baseline selection to take place 2 weeks earlier in the cycle

[Oliver Gondža]

As agreed on 2.204.* LTS line retrospective[1], I am proposing to adjust
LTS schedule so that next LTS baseline will be selected in week 10 when
.3 RC is published. It used to be in week 12 when .3 is released. There
ware 2 reasons for this:

- Lately, we slowly shifted towards choosing too new baselines
effectively shortening the core soak time. Making the call 2 weeks
sooner (no matter how new the core) will create the time buffer for more
issues to be discovered and fixed before the LTS is published.

- Core developers/reviewers tend to be busy testing during RC testing
periods and preparing weeklies that are likely to be chosen an LTS
baseline (LTS week 10-12). Making the call 2 weeks sooner will prevent
the two to overlap.

Please let us know your thoughts and concerns by the end of the week.

I am +1. We could definitely try it for the next baseline and to see whether it helps
