    Incremented the library soname, minor release checklist update
    
    While packaging for Debian to prepare for the next major release, I noticed
    that we still hadn't updated Gnuastro library's soname, so with this
    commit, its incremented to 10.
    
    A few minor corrections were added in the release checklist to make it
    smoother.
