Subject: [PATCH] DOC: Updates for release testing data uploads

@web3-storage/w3cli no longer uploads symlinks. Commit updates with
datalad, then export the repository contents to a new folder with no
symlinks. Upload this instead.

Do not document uploading to Kitware's IPFS server or the HTTP server.
The former was never properly exposed and the latter is time consuming
and unnecessary.
