Update Release Creation page on Wiki

[Milamber <mi...@apache.org>]

Hi,

FYI, I have update the Release Creation page on Wiki with the process 
using Gradle:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/JMETER/ReleaseCreation

Any comments are welcome

Thank you.
I've no idea why I can't comment on wiki.

Frankly speaking, I would love to minimize the manual steps, and it looks
like there are a lot of them left.

> do not update the version in build.xml yet; master branch should remain a
SNAPSHOT

This should probably be removed.

>Clean the working space before.  ./gradlew :src:dist:clean

This should not be needed.

>Use -Pasf to use the ASF GitBox repository (indeed of GitHub)

It should be  "to use ASF Git and Nexus servers instead of test stub
environment".

>Edit HEADER.html to modify with new version number

Do we need to update HEADER.html with a new version?
What if we just remove the version number from the HEADER?

>If necessary, update the META file with your GPG key id (if you act as the
release manager
>for the first time. Please visit https://checker.apache.org/doc/README.html

Unfortunately, checker.apache.org has been retired.
I suggest we remove META and checker steps.

>Maven Release

I believe the steps are integrated into gradlew publishDist, so they are
not needed in case publishDist works.
