[PATCH modular] Release.sh: batch release and autotagging of modules

[Gaetan Nadon]

This new version of release.sh handles multiple git modules, creating the
tarball and the correct git tag without any user input. Other than batching,
a dry-run mode is provided as well has the ability to run 'distcheck' 
rather than 'dist'.

All the recent commits have been reviewed to ensure no features were
accidentally dropped. Consult the commit text for features that are no longer
applicable, mainly due to batching and no user input needed.

I need some guidance regarding the jhbuild update feature. Aside from the
readlink portability issue, it is not clear to me how one should know which
jhbuild module file is supposed to be updated or how one can be reminded
to do so.

Thanks to Jeremy Huddleston for having tested the script for a few weeks and
for having provided valuable feedback.
