Documentation for making new releases

[anomam]

Documentation for making new releases:

• create a new version
• building and deploying the docs
• building and deploying the release files

A couple thoughts for the future:

1. It might be worthwhile to automate the gh-pages and PyPI steps. GitHub Actions can be triggered to run jobs only on tagged commits. Here are example workflow files for...
   • building sphinx docs and deploying to gh-pages: https://github.com/AdamRJensen/adamrjensen.github.io/blob/main/.github/workflows/deploy.yml
   • building sdist and wheel files and uploading to PyPI: https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/blob/master/.github/workflows/publish.yml
2. Maybe not a big deal, but python setup.py ... is no longer recommended: https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html
