The hint is meant to help AspectJ developers identify the places where
there are to-dos for releases supporting new Java versions. This is work
in progress, new tags can be added wherever necessary in the future. But
for now, the most important places should be covered:
- AJC version string
- Test infrastructure (test suites, classes and XML files)
- BCEL class file version MAJOR_*, MINOR_* constants
- AjcTask constants for compiler source, target, release
- LangUtil::is*VMOrGreater methods
- ASM and JDT Core dependency versions
- CI workflow file
- Release notes
The to-do to check the tagged places is also mentioned in RELEASE.md.

- Remove obsolete section "Deploying the AspectJ installer to
aspectj.dev", because we are publishing releases on GitHub, attaching
installers to them.
- Add section "Publish documentation on website".

RELEASE.md: Add '--add-opens' info for Nexus Staging 'rc:release'
Sonatype has not solved the problems in Nexus Staging Maven Plugin for
years, so it makes sense to document them.

Add JDK 16+ workaround for Nexus Staging Maven Plugin
Plugin version 1.6.8 does not work on JDK 16+ without special MAVEN_OPTS
opening certain modules, because the XStream version used needs it. One
workaround is to use a more recent XStream version.
TODO: remove plugin dependency after OSSRH-66257, NEXUS-26993 are fixed.
