    Update advisory format and introduce some automation · 443c1001
    Siddhesh Poyarekar authored
    
    
    Simplify the advisory format by dropping the -Backport tags and instead
    stick to using just the -Commit tags.  To identify backports, put a
    substring of git-describe into the release version in the brackets next
    to the commit ref.  This way, it not only identifies that the fix (or
    regression) is on the release/2.YY/master branch, it also disambiguates
    regressions/fixes in the branch from those in the tarball.
    
    Add a README to make it easier for consumers to understand the format.
    Additionally, the Release wiki needs to be updated to inform the release
    manager to:
    
    1. Generate a NEWS snipped from the advisories directory
    
    AND
    
    2. on release/2.YY/master, replace the advisories directory with a text
       file pointing to the advisories directory in master so that we don't
       have to update multiple locations.
