This pull request adds a proposed set of steps to perform before each Tendermint minor version release. This represents an initial set of ideas that derives from conversations among members of the Tendermint team. If you have additional suggestions for pre-release steps, please leave a comment explaining the specific suggestion and detailing how it would help build confidence in the quality of the release of Tendermint.
Since the doc site is built from the backport branches, the config changes for
a new major release also need to be replicated into the backport branch as well
as master. Update the release docs to mention that specifically, since I missed
it during the v0.35 release.
