Performing releases

1. Create a new issue announcing the planned release, e.g. Release 8.11.1 and include the template checklist.
2. Locally test master in the stylelint-config-* shareable config repositories. Install current master branch (npm install stylelint/stylelint#master) and run tests.
3. Locally test master in the stylelint/stylelint.io repository.
4. Locally test master in the stylelint/stylelint-demo repository.
5. Publish the package to npm and create a GitHub release using np:
   1. Consistently format the changelog.
   2. Replace ## Head with new version number e.g. ## 8.1.2.
   3. Commit these changes.
   4. Push these changes.
   5. Confirm the changes are correct at https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint.
   6. Run npm run release.
   7. Select the version that matches the one from the changelog.

   9. Confirm the publishing of the package to https://www.npmjs.com/package/stylelint.
   10. Confirm the creation of the release at https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/releases.

   2. Run npm test.
   3. Commit these changes.
