doc: use `git-secure-tag` for release tags

`git-secure-tag` recursively constructs an SHA-512 digest out of the
git tree, and puts the hash from the tree's root into the tag
annotation. This hash provides better integrity guarantees than the
default SHA-1 merkle tree that git uses.

Fix: #7579

Tag summaries have a predictable format, look at a recent tag to see, `git tag -v v6.0.0`. The message should look something like `2016-04-26 Node.js v6.0.0 (Current) Release`.
Install `git-secure-tag` npm module:
```console
$ npm install -g git-secure-tag
```
Create a tag using the following command:
```sh
$ git tag <vx.y.z> <commit-sha> -sm 'YYYY-MM-DD Node.js vx.y.z (Release Type) Release'
$ git secure-tag <vx.y.z> <commit-sha> -sm 'YYYY-MM-DD Node.js vx.y.z (Release Type) Release'
```
The tag **must** be signed using the GPG key that's listed for you on the project README.
