9fd3624a75 HOWTO-RELEASE: explicitly push to master
This avoids errors like

    fatal: You are pushing to remote 'savannah', which is not the upstream of
    your current branch 'master', without telling me what to push
    to update which remote branch.

cfb3ff7eff HOWTO-RELEASE: update online docs *after* uploading release
It doesn't make sense to have docs online relating to a release which
isn't yet available; it's less confusing to have a small time window
in which the online docs are out of date.

fd10706ce3 HOWTO-RELEASE: use Docker to test before releasing
Charles LeDoux did some awesome work providing this Docker environment
which can test across multiple Perl versions using perlbrew, so it
would be crazy not to use it.

17bbfb05c6 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.

7faa1d86dc 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.
