further refine the release process
...
Let's try a new approach where we increment the version number
immediately after publishing a release, not just before.
This will mean that anyone who builds from git gets a version of Stow
which is higher than the release which was just cut, and this could
provide valuable debugging hints in case a bug report does not clearly
state whether the problem arose with the latest release or with a build
from git.

HOWTO-RELEASE: use gnulib for gendocs instead of texinfo
...
These days it seems that gendocs can be done entirely from
the templates in gnulib, rather than requiring the texinfo
repository.
