Releasing mockk

Main thing before release is to test it well. There was cases when after upgrade of library Android Instrumented was not tested and half a year was not usable.

So checklist:

• make sure all required PRs are merged
• run test-suite in Gradle
• run test-suite from Android Studio or IntelliJ from emulator (Android Instrumented tests)
• release to local maven repo by running gradle publish
• do quick testing with this local maven repo: basics, if documentation is loading, if all dependencies are fine
• change version to RELEASE version (i.e. remove -SNAPSHOT from version)
• bump if needed major or minor (resetting everything afterwards)
• commit it
• tag it
• disable the spotless plugin (it depends on a newer jGit version that jReleaser doesn't like)
• release from Gradle with gradle publish jreleaserDeploy
• the release should automatically show up on Maven Central
• bump version and append -SNAPSHOT
• commit
• push to GitHub
• create GitHub release based on tag and describe changes there
• announce on reddit/kotlinlang/potentially at "announcement place" on mockk.io
