Write down how to cut a release - #2

Two things that are only obvious once you have got them wrong: the tag has to come first, because `make deb` reads the version out of `git describe` and a build from an untagged or dirty tree names itself after the previous release; and `make deb` on its own is amd64 only, which quietly ships a release that a Pi cannot install.

A release checklist in the README, between "Working on it" and "License".
The two things worth writing down are the ones that are only obvious after getting them wrong:
make debtakes its version fromgit describe, so a build from an untagged or dirty tree names the package after the previous release.make debalone is amd64 only. v0.1.0 shipped arm64 as well; nothing in the repo recorded that, so the next release would have quietly dropped it.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
