* release step 6: emphasize "re-run the command above"

`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
