create a release script

[JensTimmerman]

We need a script that does releases to pipy and also creates releases on github, so we have a known url to put as download url (something like %(github_url)s/archive/%(name)s-V%(version)s.tar.gz

[JensTimmerman]

@boegel did you have a script that does something similar for EasyBuild?

[JensTimmerman]

then use this release url in https://github.com/hpcugent/vsc-install as the download url.

[boegel]

I don't have a script, but I follow this procedure: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/wiki/Release-process

[JensTimmerman]

should also do clusterbuildrpm

[JensTimmerman]

this script should also when creating a release to github:

create a new 'release' branch,
copy the vsc-install stuff it needs to the repo, and push it to github
tag this branch
release this branch

so the tarballs on github have all the files needed to install.

Hopefully okay that I'll pile on here. I see that you are missing github releases (which this seems to be trying to address), and that the pypi tarballs do not contain the "test" directory so that you cannot run the test suite from them.
