VEP Metadata

Tracking issue: #233
SIG label: /sig release

What this PR does

Sets a concrete deadline of v1.9.0-beta.0 (May 21, 2026) for archiving the dead release branches (release-0.4 through release-0.57), replacing the previous "immediately" language in the transition plan.

This gives downstream users and vendors a grace period to react before the branches are locked via kubevirt/project-infra#5041.

Special notes for your reviewer

This aligns with the announcement being sent to kubevirt-dev@googlegroups.com.

/cc @dhiller

Hope you don't mind but I'm going to propose v1.9.0 beta.0 as the deadline for the initial dead release branch clean up now just to ensure downstream vendors get a chance to respond.
