Release: Use an in-repository dist README fixture
Use a dist README fixture kept in the jQuery repository instead of modifying
an existing one. This makes the jQuery repository the single source of truth
when it comes to jQuery releases and it makes it easier to make changes to
README without worrying how it will affect older jQuery lines.

The commit also ES6ifies build/release.js & build/release/dist.js

Closes gh-4614

# jQuery
> jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library.
For information on how to get started and how to use jQuery, please see [jQuery's documentation](http://api.jquery.com/).
For source files and issues, please visit the [jQuery repo](https://github.com/jquery/jquery).
If upgrading, please see the [blog post for @VERSION](@BLOG_POST_LINK). This includes notable differences from the previous version and a more readable changelog.
## Including jQuery
Below are some of the most common ways to include jQuery.
### Browser
#### Script tag
```html
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-@VERSION.min.js"></script>
```
#### Babel
[Babel](http://babeljs.io/) is a next generation JavaScript compiler. One of the features is the ability to use ES6/ES2015 modules now, even though browsers do not yet support this feature natively.
```js
import $ from "jquery";
```
#### Browserify/Webpack
There are several ways to use [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) and [Webpack](https://webpack.github.io/). For more information on using these tools, please refer to the corresponding project's documention. In the script, including jQuery will usually look like this...
```js
var $ = require( "jquery" );
```
#### AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition)
AMD is a module format built for the browser. For more information, we recommend [require.js' documentation](http://requirejs.org/docs/whyamd.html).
```js
define( [ "jquery" ], function( $ ) {
} );
```
### Node
To include jQuery in [Node](nodejs.org), first install with npm.
```sh
npm install jquery
```
For jQuery to work in Node, a window with a document is required. Since no such window exists natively in Node, one can be mocked by tools such as [jsdom](https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom). This can be useful for testing purposes.
```js
const { JSDOM } = require( "jsdom" );
const { window } = new JSDOM( "" );
const $ = require( "jquery" )( window );
```
