As we want to include the previous version in the "No new changes..."
string.

* rename major/minor into the right semver terminology minor/patch (since this was something that got me very confused the first couple of times I've used the script)
* name the release branch based on the new version, not the previous one

With the prior format, 1.33.0 / 1.33.1 / 1.33.2 got separate branches:

    release-v1.33.0
    release-v1.33.1
    release-v1.33.2

Under the new model, all three would share a common branch:

    release-v1.33

As before, RCs and actual releases exist as tags on these branches.

This better reflects our support model, e.g., that the "1.33" series had
a formal release followed by two patches / updates.
