In order to reflect our RC release process, we need to separate
the prepare_release script into two separate scripts.
One script now updates the documentation. That one can be executed
anytime and needs to be pushed after that.
The other script updates the version in Version.java and all pom.xml
files, but does not commit anymore. This allows to create a non snapshot
version locally, run mvn deploy, push the artifacts into S3 and, upon
successful tests, simply release them on sonatype. This also allows for
updates, because the S3 snapshot will include the commitId in their repo
as already pushed before.
