Remove the old release making instructions and scripts.

Browse Source 
Using git-based scripts seems to work well and the old scripts are not
maintained any more and having several ways of making releases is just
confusing, so leave only one set of scripts, the one actually used since
2.9.

Instructions for the previous version of release scripts
--------------------------------------------------------
NB: These scripts haven't been used since 2.8 series and may not work any longer!
Currently our release system uses a Python 2.x script to generate releases.
The script requires Unix utilities such as tar, zip and unix2dos and thus must
be run either on Unix or using Cygwin on Windows. To generate a release, simply
run the following command:
build/tools/create-archive.py --compression=all /path/to/output/dir
This will produce zip, gzip and bzip archives of the tree (without
"compression" argument only .gz is made). Note that this commands produces huge
amounts of output so redirecting it to a file is recommended.
To add a prefix to the release, such as RC1, the SVN revision, or a date, just
pass --postfix="postfix" to the script. More info on the options and their
possible values can be found by calling `create-archive.py --help`.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You *must* run this script from a clean source tree, that is,
with no junk files in it or modifications. This is because the
release should be a pristine copy of the tree as of the time of
release. If you have legitimate modifications in the tree that need
to be in the release, commit them first.
To generate the windows installer (.exe) and the documentation files (chm and htb formats)
run:
build\tools\bld_chm_exe.bat
which depends on the wxwidgets.iss file, and generates output in the %DAILY% directory. It
assumes a clean copy of the wxWidgets source tree in %INNO%. Temporary files will be generated
in the tree from which the batch file is run. It depends on doxygen, a number of gnu
win32 tools and Microsofts htmlhelp compiler. The wxwidgets.iss file should not need
editing, but you will want to check that the bld_chm_exe.bat has the correct version number.
