Fixup release rules.

[Ralf Wildenhues]

I'm pushing this patch to fix up the release rules, master and
branch-1-10.

Cheers,
Ralf

    Fixup release rules.
    
    * Makefile.am (cvs-diff): Remove.
    (git-dist): Do not use clcommit any more.  Use new-style tag
    name.  Pass $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) to $(MAKE).
    (git-diff): Adjust.
    (git-release): Do not upload to sources.redhat.com.
