Releasing SwiftLint

For SwiftLint contributors, follow these steps to cut a release:

1. Update version number in the following files:
   • Source/swiftlint/Supporting Files/Info.plist
   • Source/SwiftLintFramework/Supporting Files/Info.plist
2. Come up with a witty washer/dryer themed release name. Past names include:
   • Tumble Dry
   • FabricSoftenerRule
   • Top Loading
   • Fresh Out Of The Dryer
3. Update the first header in CHANGELOG.md to the new version number & release name.
4. Commit & push to the master branch.
5. Tag: git tag -a 0.2.0 -m "0.2.0: Tumble Dry"; git push origin 0.2.0
6. Make sure you have the latest stable Xcode version installed or symlinked under /Applications/Xcode.app and xcode-selected.
7. Create the pkg installer & framework zip: make release
8. Create a GitHub release: https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint/releases/new
   • Specify the tag you just pushed from the dropdown.
   • Set the release title to the new version number & release name.
   • Add the changelog section to the release description text box.
   • Upload the pkg installer and Carthage zip you just built to the GitHub release binaries.
   • Click "Publish release"
9. Update Homebrew: brew bump-formula-pr --tag=$(git describe --tags) --revision=$(git rev-parse HEAD) swiftlint.
