programming-guidelines: don't use the term "pre-release increment"
When reading the text, I first thought that it meant "pre-commit" and
"post-commit". But the pre-commit is useless, it can be done at the same
time as the release commit.
Saying "at the time of release" is clearer in my opinion.

The standard process for making a release of a module increments the

- does the release, then increments the package version number immediately
- afterwards. This is called pre-release increment for libtool versioning
- and post-release increment for package versioning.
