Previously when we released a .bzip2 file the Gnome release scripts
will just convert this to a .xz file and generate its own checksum.
The .bzip2 is never actually available on the FTP server. This isn't
ideal because we were listing the checksum of the .bzip2 file in the
release message but that is useless information. This patch changes it
to generate a .xz file instead which is also what Clutter does.

The generated release message and the README have been updated to point
to the reference manuals hosted on developer.gnome.org and state that
documentation for the experimental 2.0 api is not currently available
online since we are migrating services away from clutter-project.org and
may not be able to rely on it for much longer.
clutter-project.org is no longer accessible for uploading releases so
this just removes all mention of it from the release rules.

This updates the make release-message rule to include the latest NEWS
section at the top of the release message. The release messages
currently contain a lot of boring boilerplate that I imagine very few
people are really be interested in. For someone idly following Cogl
development though it's quite possible they'd like to see a digestible
summary of what has changed in this release which is what the NEWS
section provides.

The changelog generation scripts used for releases are overly elaborate
and fragile. A Changelog is also no substitute for the Git log so now we
simply ship a static Changelog that points to the Git log instead.
The check for the version number was checking against the 2.0.0 micro
version number which isn't expected to change for a long time so the
test was useless.
The release template had the wrong version number and download URL and
the subject was slightly different from what we used in the previous
release. Also the parts split out from the README were including the
-- separator. These have been removed using tail -n +1. The
documentation section is updated to match the message used for the
1.7.0 release. There is now a note about the release being a
development snapshot that only gets added depending on
COGL_RELEASE_STATUS.
This explicitly renames the cogl-2.0 reference manual to
cogl-2.0-experimental and renames the cogl-2.0 pkg-config file to
cogl-2.0-experimental.pc. Hopefully this should avoid
miss-understandings.
