gerrit-maven-stage and gerrit-maven-docker-stage

Currently Maven2 JAR artifacts self release process is finalized. Docker Images self releases

is still under construction. 

Before teams start using self releases ...

...

1. The tech team needs to make sure their committer list is up to date as these will be the people approved to make releases.
   
   1. The reason behind this, only committers can +2 and merge changes in their tech team repo.
   2. The releases merge job will be triggered by files merged in the repo and will execute a release.
2. Tech team needs to add "{project-name}-gerrit-release-jobs" to their ci-management yaml files. 
   1. This group introduces "gerrit-release-verify" and "gerrit-release-merge"
3. Once a release candidate is build using gerrit-maven-stage, a new file must be added to your project repo describing the release and referring to the gerrit-maven-stage log:
   
   1. This file needs to be located in the root repo under a "releases" folder.
   2. An example can be viewed here: https://github.com/lfit/releng-global-jjb/blob/master/docs/jjb/lf-release-jobs.rst 
      1. Name of the file should match the semantic version of the release being published. (For example: releases/1.0.0.yaml)
      2. distribution_type: 'maven'  (Future expansion will allow "container" to be provided"
      3. version: '#.#.#' (Release semantic version)
      4. tag_release: false (By default, tagging a repo with a release version is set to true. If you want to skip it, set it to false)
      5. project: 'project-name' (Project name, for example 'ccsdk-parent')
      6. log-dir: 'pointer_to_maven_stage_job/build_number/' (for example: 'ccsdk-parent-maven-stage-master/2/')
      7. maven_central_url: 'oss.sonatype.org' ( Optional, in case the team want's to publish to Maven Central)
4. This file will trigger "{project-name}-release-verify-{stream}"
   1. This job can also be triggered using the comment "recheck|reverify"
   2. The verify job will make sure the release file contains the needed information and that the candidate exists.
5. Tech team needs to +2 this new change and merge it. Please do not override any -1 Verify from Jenkins.
6. The merge will trigger "{project-name}-release-merge-{stream}"
   1. This job can also be triggered using the comment "remerge"
   2. This job will push the release and tag the repo.
