hacking: described new branching policy for 1.12 an later
This change closes automake bug#11153.
* HACKING (Working with git): Document the new policy for automake
branching and merging, which will start being applied after 1.12 is
released:
- the maintenance branch will be 'maint', and we will cut the
maintenance releases directly from there;
- the development branch will be 'master', and we will cut the
new releases directly from there;
- 'maint' will be kept regularly merged into 'master'.
