gerrit/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotes-2.9.4.txt
Yuxuan 'fishy' Wang 4f5ad9d313 Use buck rule for ReleaseNotes instead of Makefile
This eliminates the last Makefile in our code base.

Also change the section style within ReleaseNotes from asciidoc style to
asciidoctor style.

Also I feel that put images/link.png under ReleaseNotes and deal with
all the resource packing is too stupid, so I used the unicode emoji
instead of the picture ("🔗"). If this is too crazy, we can also use "#"
instead :) This also affects documentation rendering.

Other side effects:

1. The css of release notes switched from default asciidoc css into
default asciidoctor css.
2. The section anchors for ReleaseNotes/index.html changed from "2_13"
to "s2_13", because asciidoctorj is unhappy with anchors without
letters.

== Important Notes
*WARNING:* There are no schema changes from
link:ReleaseNotes-2.9.3.html[2.9.3], but when upgrading from an existing site
that was initialized with Gerrit version 2.6 to version 2.9.1 the primary key
column order will be updated for some tables. It is therefore important to
upgrade the site with the `init` program, rather than only copying the .war file
over the existing one.
It is recommended to run the `init` program in interactive mode. Warnings will
be suppressed in batch mode.

*WARNING:* When upgrading from version 2.8.4 or older with a site that uses
Bouncy Castle Crypto, new versions of the libraries will be downloaded. The old
libraries should be manually removed from site's `lib` folder to prevent the
startup failure described in
link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=3084[Issue 3084].
