RELEASING: Fix releasing instructions to match the latest release.sh

It seems that the tests don't need DRM master anymore? at least make
distcheck passes when X is running.

release.sh is also invoked with just the path to the libdrm git checkout
and we don't want to pass additional arguments that will be treated as
additional modules we want to release.

Also, make a note that release.sh will run make distcheck for you, so we
don't strickly need to run it beforehand.

4) Run autoconf and then re-run ./configure so the build system
picks up the new version number.
5) Verify that the code passes "make distcheck". libdrm is tricky
to distcheck since the test suite will need to become drm master.
This means that you need to run it outside X, that is, in text
mode (KMS or no KMS doesn't matter).
5) (optional step, release.sh will make distcheck for you, but it can be
heart warming to verify that make distcheck passes)

6) Use the release.sh script from the xorg/util/modular repo to
upload the tarballs to the freedesktop.org download area and

arguments: a "section", the previous tag and the new tag we just
created. For 2.4.16 again, the command is:
create an annouce email template. The script takes one argument:
the path to the libdrm checkout. So, if a checkout of modular is
