What?

This pull request makes a small update to the release instructions in docs/RELEASE_INSTRUCTIONS.md to clarify and separate the merge steps during a release. The instructions now explicitly distinguish merging the release PR into develop and then merging develop into trunk.

Why?

Because I somehow flipped those steps in the 0.4.0 release ( 🤦🏼 ), see #265 (comment).

How?
