1. GH_TOKEN is probably required to run the changelog script.
2. Note the footnotes need updating; we no longer have [Unreleased].

Since the `CHANGELOG.md` file is a major source for merge conflicts I decided
to build a tiny tool that generates the entries for the changelog
automatically from the commit messages.
I'm not sure what went wrong, but the first RC I cut had some trouble
with the tag being picked up with `git describe`, I think it was missing
a 'tag message'. I'm not sure what caused this.
This commit breaks up the first git tag procedure to have the releaser
verify that the tag command works as intended (and sensitizes them to
checking this for subsequent release cuts, if necessary)
1. These days we delete the [Unreleased] tag during rcs.
2. Make sure we test the release build process during rc1, since I
screwed that up last release.
3. Add a section on rc2, etc.
4. Do final release via a github PR, since I screwed that up on the
prior release.
5. Update `tools/build-release.sh` and instructions to show that we now
make a reproducible build for Ubuntu 18.04 x86-64.

And fix trivial typo in MAKING-RELEASES.md, and date retreival in
build-release.sh and repro-build.sh (real git tags start with v!)

This is a preparatory step for the automatic documentation generation
that is going to use `sphinx-doc`. Each document should include a top
level header that matches the name and scope of the document and all
following headers should be of a lower level than the top-level
header.
