releng: clarify/update docs, add instructions after tag

This is not a proper fix for the confusion that can happen about how the
tags are supposed to be used.

For a proper fix, we need to do
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/439 and implement
worktrees such that the user never sees the git state anymore.

### Web site
The website has various release-version dependent pieces.
You can update them with `python3 update_version.py NEW_VERSION`, which will regenerate the affected page sources.
These need the release to have been done first as they need hashes for tarballs and such.
### NixOS module
The NixOS module has underdeveloped releng in it.
Currently you have to do the whole branch-off dance manually to a `release-VERSION` branch and update the tarball URLs to point to the release versions manually.
FIXME: this should be unified with the `set_version.py` work in `lix-installer` and probably all the releng kept in here, or kept elsewhere.
