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in which the online docs are out of date.

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.

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.
