There is surely more that can be done but I'll knock that out as I make more changes.

bazelbuild#4005 removed `crate_universe/extension.bzl`, the deprecated re-export
of `crate_universe/extensions.bzl`, as part of dropping WORKSPACE
support.

Downstream projects may still load `crate` from that path via
`use_extension`, so any build that resolves `rules_rust` 0.71.0 with
such a module in its graph fails.
`protobuf` 35.1, the newest release on BCR, is one such module.

Restore the shim and print a deprecation warning at load time, giving
downstream modules a short window to migrate to `extensions.bzl`, e.g.:
- protocolbuffers/protobuf#28226.

Closes bazelbuild#4111.

## Summary

WORKSPACE support was removed in bazelbuild#4005 (released in 0.71.0). The release
notes template was not updated at the time, so every release since
0.71.0 (0.71.0, 0.71.1, 0.71.2, 0.71.3, 0.72.0) has advertised
`http_archive` WORKSPACE snippets that don't work.

This removes all WORKSPACE sections from the template so future release
notes only show the Bzlmod setup.

Also fixes a pre-existing missing `</details>` closing tag in the Prost
extension section.
