release.py: Add details to email announcements.

Say "This is a feature/security/bugfix release"
and "Subversion is an open-source version control system" [quoted
from our homepage] to make the announcements self-contained for
readers of annou...@apache.org and other aggregators.
* tools/dist/release.py
(...): Pass two new parameters, 'security' and 'dot-zero', to the ezt
