4ce8a5ed00 Rename tech notes to files with reasonable names.
Keep the old files to avoid breaking existing links to them, but just point to
the files in the new contributing subdirectory with more meaningful names now.

Also remove a couple of long obsolete tech notes.

1b192bb2b8 Document the release scripts really used for making releases.
End the polite fiction that build/tools/create-archive.py is used to build the
release because it isn't and all the last releases were built using different
scripts. Document their use in more details.

This file goes with the binaries, not the sources. Also fix its extension.

129342d84e Added more items to the release check list.
Mention that the change log should be uploaded too (it would be perhaps more
useful to have a change log for just this release but for now upload the
entire file) and that the llatest available version must be update on the web
site.

30d7a99071 Mention setting up file as default download on SF in release docs.
The newly uploaded files must be configured to be default downloads as
otherwise SF continues to propose the old files by default.
