Improve our release instructions regarding versioned links

Update our `RELEASE.md` so that we don't forget to bump the download
links in `INSTALL.md` prior to tagging a release. This way, we won't
have a versioned `INSTALL.md` page pointing to an older download link.

Note that this means that the latest version of the `INSTALL.md` page
will point to a broken link, in the short period of time between the
pre-release and the actual release. That's not an issue in our case,
because we don't point to the latest version of our `INSTALL.md` from
our `README.md`. We use versioned links instead, and thus we minimize
the chance that a user may encounter a broken link.

Fixes #1100
