[pgpool-hackers: 1680] release support policy added (was "Source code repository" wiki page modified)

[Tatsuo Ishii]

Due to some complains from pgpool-II users :-), I have finally added
"pgpool-II support policy" page. Most wordings are copied from
PostgreSQL web page.

http://pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/Source_code_repository#pgpool-II_release_support_policy
