Update: works good enough that people can commit again to release-notes
module. It doesn't update GNOME Library yet, but there are only a few
issues left.

Made www.gnome.org/start/2.20 redirect to
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.20

For 2.20 you can notice the nice language overview on the side. No need
to update the text for that :-)

Same for 2.22.. note that 2.22 is password protected.

There are some issues with 2.12 - 2.18 due to wrong 'id' usage. Fredp is
adding workarounds for that. The r-n module doesn't have anything older
than 2.12 ATM.
