docs: exp. docs on creat. a new tag to cover how to create a new release

Also generally fix up the docs and the git_annotated_tag_template a bit,
make the tag template not include the shortlog anymore (as that doesn't
make that much sense) and also provide a release_notes_template.md.

Creating a Release

Create a Tag

To create a new tag, do the following:

Fill out git_annotated_tag_template.

Run the following command to tag the current commit with vX:

git tag -a -F git_annotated_tag_template -s --cleanup=verbatim vX

Restore git_annotated_tag_template to its original state:
```
git restore git_annotated_tag_template
```
Push the tag:
```
git push --tags
```

Build a Release-ZIP

Build the release-ZIP:
```
./package.sh
```

Name the release-ZIP after the current version:

mv top-bar-organizer@julian.gse.jsts.xyz.shell-extension.zip top-bar-organizer@julian.gse.jsts.xyz.shell-extension_vX.zip

Create a GitLab Release

Go to the Releases section of the repo and click on the "New Release" button.
Select the corresponding tag created earlier.
Name the release "Top Bar Organizer vX".
Copy the release notes template and fill it out.
Upload the release-ZIP created in the previous step as a release asset.
Create the release.

Uploading to the GNOME Extensions Website

Go to the upload page of the GNOME extensions website and upload the release-ZIP.
