METRON-1006 Remove Incubator DISCLAIMER file and fix Release Process doc
## Contributor Comments
The Release Process document at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Release+Process
currently states that a file named DISCLAIMER is a required artifact in the
release package. The contents of this file are:
```
Apache Metron is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is
required
of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
in
a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation
status
is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the
code,
it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
```
This clearly seems to be left over from our incubation days. I propose to
entirely remove the DISCLAIMER file, from the source tree and from the Release
Process document.
The usual disclaimers remain in the LICENSE file, of course.

> This is not appropriate for a graduated TLP, and there is no evident similar
> disclaimer for TLPs as shown in other projects. The usual disclaimers remain
> in the LICENSE file, of course.
> Removing the DISCLAIMER file from our project root source directory.
