Update release guide for patch version

Since releasing a patch version is a bit different than releasing a minor or major version, the release guide should be updated accordingly.

Main differences are:

  • Some steps aren't necessary in a patch release (updating Maven plugins, calling for a vote etc.)
  • Some branches are different too (release-xx branch already exists, and the MR are merged directly on it, we don't use the develop branch)
  • Some steps are missing (explain how to merge the MR, how to cherry-pick commits if needed)

Also some information in the contribution guide should be updated:

  • Developers should start from latest release branch instead of current develop branch for non API-regressive bug corrections
  • changes.xml does not need to be updated when fixing this type of bug

All this to simplify the work for the releaser.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
