bb9197c406 maint: improve make src/fs-magic-compare
* README-release: fix the `make` command, and mention how
to get the latest results without requring running a
system with the latest kernel.
* src/local.mk (src/fs-latest-magic.h): A new target to
document how/where to place the latest magic header.
(src/fs-kernel-magic): Adjust to include separately
downloaded header if available.
(src/fs-magic): Undefine MANPAGER as it may impact the
ability to pipe the output of man(1).
(fs-magic-compare): Don't echo the commands run as they're
distracting from the output which needs to be examined.

9e42ecceff doc: factor hard-coded project-specific bits from README-release, ...
using the new --mail-headers option to gnulib's announce-gen, and
the updated maint.mk rules to connect the pieces.
* README-release: Remove hard-coded To:, Cc: etc. parts, now
that they're emitted automatically into the announcement template.
* cfg.mk (announcement_Cc_): Override the default.
* gnulib: Update to latest, to get newer announce-gen and maint.mk.

9e66806e28 doc: adjust a header in announcement email template
* README-release: Use Mail-Followup-To: rather than Reply-To:.
The former works more reliably, at least with Gnus.

and applies a signed tag (v$VERSION) to the result.
* build-aux/do-release-commit-and-tag: New script.
* README-release: Document it.

880a6e7723 maint: doc: adjust README-release
* README-release: Remove mention of bootstrap's old
--gnulib-srcdir=/gnulib option.  No longer needed, and its

120118c7d8 maint: tweak release-building notes

Otherwise, running some in parallel would cause failures, e.g.,
for rm/ext3-perf and tail-2/assert-2.
