doc: Add a note about using Gnulib's gnupload script.
* doc/release.org (Upload all the files): Mention where the script
originates and that it requires the ncftp package. In the examples,
change directory to the release directory, as file names containing
slashes are rejected by the server.

+The ~gnupload~ script from [[https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/][Gnulib]] is
used to upload the release
+artifacts to the GNU FTP. It requires the ~ncftp~ package to be
+installed. For a final release, the following should be used:
+
+ $ cd release-X.Y.Z
+ $ gnupload --to ftp.gnu.org:guix *.[xlg]z
+
+To uploading a release candidate (RC), the [[alpha.gnu.org]] URL should be
+used instead, like so:
+
+ $ cd release-X.Y.Z
+ $ gnupload --to alpha.gnu.org:guix *.[xlg]z
You'll get an email soon after when the upload is complete.
