Simplify release notes to be auto generated

Reasons in favor of minimal release notes: (1) Releases is a GitHub functionality, it's better not to invest too much time into vendor-specific configurations. (2) There is no binary associated with this library so Releases has reduced significance. (3) Meaningful release notes are still contained in git tag annotations, which can be carried across hosts.

One downside is losing meaningful messages in email notifications if people subscribe to follow releases on GitHub.
