Christian Kellner 6a31747aa6 RELEASE.md: update to mention 'v' tag prefix
The rule for the tag name is to have a 'v' prefix, update the
release instruction to reflect that. Also remove the Packit
header, because we don't use Packit at all anymore.

How to create new release

Use the bump-version target to bump the version:

$ make bump-version

Check that the spec file is correctly modified. Create new commit from this change; this commit will become the new tag. The name of the tag should the be the new version number prefixed by v.

$ git tag -a v<version-number> -m <some description>
$ git push origin <version-number>

Create new release on Github containing the number of this release as its name, the same number as a tag, and description copied from the previous one.

Once the Github release is available, follow the standard procedure for creating a Fedora update.
