* fix typos
* simplify
* adapt to how I use this today, including explicit branch name
I think the `clean` task is important here, Felix and I were seeing
issues with jar filenames with incorrect version numbers. His work on
FINERACT-2341 may have fixed whatever was causing it, but let's
also/still do the `clean` before building release artifacts / candidates
just to be safe.
See 89e9cfc

I think this was a typo. It's presumably changing the highlighter midstream and causing section numbering to start at the "Fineract Development Environment" chapter. But I really like `:sectlinks:` and I want to keep that! It's handy for sharing deep / sorta permanent links to specific sections (just click on any heading and copy the URL).
Originally I thought I was causing issues by running `./gradlew clean` separate from `./gradlew srcDistTar binaryDistTar`. If I did (or so I thought), a `fineract-provider/build/classes/java/main/git.properties` file was _sometimes_ not generated (the `generateGitProperties` task failing, misbehaving, or not even running? was the file getting deleted? no idea).

Unsure of the cause, at least I understand that file is supposed to end up at `BOOT-INF/classes/git.properties` in `fineract-provider-VERSION.jar` in the binary release tarball. Its contents are displayed at the `/fineract-provider/actuator/info` endpoint. I think that's more or less how it works, but I did not spend enough time on this to be certain.

Now I think it wasn't at all related to how I was running our Gradle tasks, but rather some nasty behavior in gradle-git-properties:

* n0mer/gradle-git-properties#233
* gradle/gradle#34177

Yuck. 🤢

* release step 6: emphasize "re-run the command above"
* release step 9: link to Database Setup in e2e or integration section (currently links to e2e since `cucumber.adoc` precedes `integration.adoc` in `fineract-doc/src/docs/en/chapters/testing/index.adoc`)
* release step 10: improve rc verify instructions in voting email, based on https://lists.apache.org/thread/jk2qzjxc89hd1c8xzvhtmlbbj1m8ktbl - thread: "release process improvement (was: 🗳️ 1.13.0 for release)"
* release step 15: use current mission statement from top-level readme in release announcement email
