This diff drops all the autotools-only files, removes the associated CI
build configuration and updates the release-process.md and
release-notes.md files.

There is still a little cleanup that can be done but will be part of
other diffs as this will change some code and I don't want to make it
more difficult to review.

Git ls-filed and grepped for various patterns, the remaining are either
libs (secp256k1, univalue) or depends.
