Servicing branches for releases

See original GitHub issue

Contrary to many other dotnet components, roslyn does not have servicing branches for various SDK versions. This complicates things when we want to backport changes from main.

For example, Fedora and Alpine packaging teams have a patch for fixing roslyn on mono that has been in main for a year. It’d be nice if we could backport it to release/6.0.1xx so that we can all benefit from each other’s work. This is especially important now that more distributions are creating packages and porting to new platforms.

Yeah, I was just giving an example. I don’t know the branch matching release/6.0.1xx either 😢
