Remove update steps for wxBlog (because it's redundant with the news
post on www.wxwidgets.org now that both are hosted at the same site),
Google+ (because of its extinction) and Buildbot (because we're going to
stop using it soon anyhow).
Add a step for updating the list of compilers used for building
binaries.
It makes more sense to update it manually once and then run the script
rather than partially updating it manually first, then updating it again
and then running the script.
Buildbot configuration was redone in pure Python (see master.cfg in
https://github.com/wxWidgets/buildbot repository) since several years
already, there is no need to keep these obsolete files.
For the release candidates, allow passing the version (e.g. "3.1.1-rc")
to post-release.sh on the command line and document this.
Also don't commit automatically, this is annoying, especially as the
script doesn't check for errors.
Finally, fix the problem with the CHM file name: it must be zipped,
presumably to avoid problems with some firewalls blocking downloading
CHM files (as there is really no advantage in compressing the already
compressed CHM file otherwise).
Use "git submodule foreach" to run "git archive" in all of the
submodules as well.
Also document the requirement to have GNU tar which is needed to be able
to successfully extract several concatenated tar archives.
Update dates in various files before the release automatically.
Also automatically update SHA-1 of the release files both before the
release (to zero them) and afterwards (to use the correct values).
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/443
Simplify the officialbuild.bat script by only checking for "vcXX" instead of
accepting both them and "vsYYYY".
Also add instructions for using it in the corresponding HOWTO.
Closes#17514.
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.

The conversion is very superficial and there are probably many problems in the
Markdown rendering, but this is the first step towards making these documents
more readable when viewing them online.
