ea20e94e94 Website: more updates to 'steps to release'
Move the updating of `web/project-website/data/flamenco.yaml` to an earlier
step, so that it's committed & tagged along with the rest of the changes.

9cf34089e4 Website: update steps to release new version
Some steps still expected that the version bump was done with a script
(which hasn't been in use for a while now).

f93c66edb3 Documentation: no longer mention Bootstrap as dependency
The web app doesn't use Bootstrap, so it shouldn't be mentioned in the

80fee0837b Documentation: expand the 'Variables' page
Expand the 'Variables' page so that it links to the two-way variables
page from within the body of text. Having the link in only the side-bar
was too easy to miss.

9dbeddba35 Documentation: remove use of "expandable" sections
Move the "Custom Job Types" expandable section to its own, normal
section.

The expandable sections in the docs aren't that clear, visually. It's
easy to miss that they can be expanded. This was the only use of this
feature.

f75a8f4c65 Website: remove the "what is new" link
Remove the "what is new" link, because it's not that relevant for a quick-
start page. Also it got lost a bit between the videos and felt out of
place.

Sometimes the setup assistant doesn't work (port already in use, Blender
not installed), so having an example file will make it possible to still
start Flamenco.

46792ee164 Clarify "job etag mismatch" situation
When a submitted job is refused because of a mismatched etag, there is
now a more explanatory error logged on the Manager. The website also has
an entry in the FAQ for this, as I expect more people to run into this
issue when they upgrade Flamenco.

5a25952167 Website: Fix documentation of Flamenco Worker YAML task types list
The example on the project website is incorrect:

```
task_types: blender, ffmpeg, file-management, misc
```

It results in an error:

```
loading configuration: yaml: unmarshal errors:\n line 2:
  cannot unmarshal ||str "blender..." into []string
```

The fix seems to be adding square brackets around the list of comma
delineated tasks:

```
task_types: [blender, ffmpeg, file-management, misc]
```

This results in output with the confirmation that
`taskType=["blender","ffmpeg","file-management","misc"]`

e394e75f64 update-version: also update latest version on project website
`make update-version` now also updates
`web/project-website/data/flamenco.yaml` so that the new version is
listed as the latest one on flamenco.blender.org.

Note that such a change will only be visible online after publishing the
site with `make project-website`. Be sure to only do this after the
build has been uploaded there, to avoid dead links.

22aa041ec1 Allow relative render output root paths
Add a new `abspath(path)` function to the add-on, for use in job type
settings. With this, the "simple blender render" job can support relative
paths for the "render output root" setting, and still have an absolute
final "render output path".
