Change "point relase" to "patch release" for precision

In general, the software world is not clear about these terms. However,
the most common usage seems to use "point release" to refer to any
release with at least one period in the version number, which would also
include minor releases. By contrast, "patch release," though a much less
common phrase, unambiguously denotes a release with a version number
containing two periods.

Please note that patch releases, such as 3.2.1 and 4.0.1, do not designate
separate, new releases of Qubes OS. Rather, they designate their respective
major or minor releases, such as 3.2 and 4.0, inclusive of all package updates
up to a certain point. For example, installing Release 4.0 and fully updating
it results in the same system as installing Release 4.0.1. Therefore, point
it results in the same system as installing Release 4.0.1. Therefore, patch
releases are not displayed as separate rows on any of the tables on this page.
