Release Procedure Documentation

This document describes what needs to be done for a release.

• check if all issues labelled release critical are fixed
• check if jenkins master pipeline succeeds
• run external link check (change follow-web-links in book.toml and do mdbook build)

• check/improve reformatting
• update mergedDatasets.csv
• manually test dev.permaplant.net according to protocol
