Emil Velikov 7e79e895a6 docs/releasing: do not pass any arguments to autogen.sh
This should just work (tm) with the default options. Plus the one we
pass is already the default, so just drop it.

Emil Velikov ccb89e72aa docs/releasing: document how to squash/announce queued patches
In the odd case where a patch needs to be fixed, squash the appropriate
fix and document how. Add a note in the pre-release notes, such that
devs can quickly spot it.

v2: Grammar/typo fixes (Eric). Use upstream commit [SHA] as reference.

Emil Velikov 652e367d5f docs/releasing: tweak the glxinfo/glxgear/etc. command lines
Print only the information needed. Namely:
*info: the DRI module picked and the vendor/renderer strings
*gears: everything but the "...configuration file..." line(s)

v2: (Eric) Use "2>&1 |" over "|&", properly escape &.

Emil Velikov f9b18d5acc docs/releasing: build test the scons/mingw build
We had multiple cases in the past where files used only by the
Scons/MinGW/Windows build were missing.

Avoid such instances and add a step to catch them early.

Emil Velikov b3b415609d configure.ac: supersede --enable-gallium-llvm over --enable-llvm
Currently we have extra (somewhat questionable) modularity, such that
one could build some parts with LLVM while others w/o.

That is extremely fragile, error prone and requires quite noticable
amount of code throughout.

Thus lets deprecate the gallium toggle in faviour of the generic one.
The former will throw a warning when set, and it will be overwritten by
the latter. This will allow gradual transition w/o breaking people's
scripts.

v2: Rebase, document in release notes.
