RELEASING: Fix releasing instructions to match the latest release.sh
It seems that the tests don't need DRM master anymore? at least make distcheck passes when X is running. release.sh is also invoked with just the path to the libdrm git checkout and we don't want to pass additional arguments that will be treated as additional modules we want to release. Also, make a note that release.sh will run make distcheck for you, so we don't strickly need to run it beforehand.
