Modified release script to create notes only on minor releases

Before, release notes with a list of changes were created every
patch release. Unfortunately, it looks like this will create a lot of
noise on github, with a notification every patch release, which may be
as often as every time a PR is merged.

Rather than creating all of this noise for relatively uninteresting
changes, the script will now stick to simple tags, and create the
release notes only on minor releases.

I think this is what several of you were originally suggesting,
sorry about the journey, at least I learned a lot.
