[wwwdocs] Simplify releasing.html


Hi Mark,

while making the other changes to releasing.html I noticed that we can
now remove several conditionals in these instructions, simplifying them.
Also, I propose to use version numbers of the form X.Y.Z in the 
examples where we currently have X.Y which we do not use any longer.

Any objections?

Gerald
