Draft: Do not clean reprepro in apply command

We should only cleanup the RELEASE-updates and RELEASE-security repositories after it is validated that the folded packages to the main repositories have been built and published successfully.

On this note, the Stable Point Release documentation has also been updated emphasizing this change.

The only real question to self is if/whether this is needed at this point. Because reprepro related commands are being printed only at this juncture, given we don't have direct access to reprepro no more and the OBS instance is dockerized.

Given that we are already printing the exact reprepro command instead of executing it over ssh, this MR is no more needed.

The deferred deletion of packages from apt repository still applies to the overall Stable Release Folding process and is independent of which publisher is used behind.
