(RE-1746) Enhance JIRA release ticket docs

This provides extensive information based on the confluence page to the actual
tickets themselves, with the addition of what I have learned working through a
release.

This is a step in continual improvement. One thing I would like to see later
added to this task is a way for other subtasks in the same series block tickets
ahead. For now I have just noted those as dependencies in the descriptions.
(RE-1746) Combine tests passing/tickets resolved

The first thing that should be done is to see if the code is ready for the
release. This combines the tests passing and functional review passed as the
first step to the entire release process.
(RE-1746) Update closing ticket

This adds steps for using bulk edit to close issues.

Update version spec to include ref_type

A future commit will need to use the ref_type in the spec tests, so this
commit refactors the tests to include ref_type in the hash for the
versions.
Return raw git describe for tags

Previously, the version returned by the packaging repo would *always*
have the last component when split on '-' removed (when there are a
certain number of elements), which works very well for standard commits
and for our rc tags, but doesn't work for maven timestamps. For example,
currently 0.3.2-20140507.175526-5 is stripped to 0.3.2-20140507.175526.
This commit addresses that by explicitly using the raw git describe for
tags, and only doing manipulation for commits.

(RE-1746) Combine and enhance ticket descriptions

- Removed update jenkins job and collapsed to merge to stable
- fix places where ticket numbers were referenced
- remove puppet specific items in task descriptions
- update merge to stable description to indicate that it doesn't
  always apply
(RE-1746) Add more detail re report smoke test results.

(RE-1784) Update debian packaging to prefer tarball artifacts

Previously, debian would template all of the artifacts from the project,
independent of the templating that happens during the tar creation, and
then only use the tar artifacts if the debian templating had not
happened, which is very rare (only puppetdb?). This commit updates the
deb packaging to copy the debian packaging files from the tarball on top
of any that had already been templated in the prep_deb phase.
Unfortunately, this doesn't avoid the double templating.

(maint) Allow rpm.rake to fall through to other spec sources

Previously the tar inspection happened using the ex method, which raises
an exception and fails if the command itself fails. This doesn't allow
the logic to fail through to templating the specfile anew from the
project as intended. This commit updates the logic to use %x and test $?
explicitly for success?. This will allow the logic to fall through
before failing as it was intended to.

(RE-1746) Clarify smoke test packages a bit

The current description is meant to be edited to handle smoke testing
packages and choosing platforms that will be tested against.

This also isn't very clear on the wonky way in which we create
MSIs and how they apply to the smoke testing subtask. This clears
that up so there is less confusion for folks new to the release
process.

Update jira tasks to be more comprehensive

Turns out there’s a bit more JIRA work than just
creating the new version number.
