Tweak to dist release process
Hi All
Following discussions with the infra team, I've made a slight tweak to how
we get release files onto the mirrors.
Previously, we'd place release candidate files in our own
people.apache.org areas. After the vote, we'd move them on people to the
www dist sync area, and they'd then show up an hour or so later.
Now, we place release candidate files into the dev dist area:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/poi/
Which everyone can see and download to voite on
After the vote, we svn move them to the release dist area:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/poi/
They should then show up on the live dist server almost instantly
Hopefully this should be both quicker and easier, and is the recommended
way to do things now. I've updated the release docs with the info, but if
someone (probably Yegor!) hits a problem with doing it give me a shout :)
Otherwise, we've hopefully made things simpler, and shaved an hour or so
off the release process wait :)

The finals bits of this should now be live, and the docs have been
updated. Hopefully this'll make 3.8 beta 3 that little bit quicker to do!
