Publishing a new release

This is currently done by @leonstafford and involves these steps:

• test code in develop branch
• set a new dev version if needed, ie 7.1.1-dev
• merge develop branch to master
• adjust wp2static.php version to non-dev, ie 7.1.1
• update CHANGELOG.md
• create new git tag with matching version
• push master branch and tag to GitHub
• create new Release in GitHub with same notes as CHANGELOG
• build zip installer and publish to wp2static.com with MD5 hash
