Merge #613: Releases: add 0.17.0

da99e38 Release 0.17.0: add blog post (David A. Harding)
3e275c5 Releases 0.17: slight reformatting of release notes for this site (David A. Harding)
77efeff Releases 0.17.0: add upstream release notes (David A. Harding)

Pull request description:

  Note: CI is expected to fail until binaries have been uploaded.  If you restart the job after upload, the tests should pass.

  The reformatting commit just deals with differences between GitHub-flavor Markdown and this site's Kramdown-flavored Markdown, plus turns a relative URL to descriptors.md into an absolute URL so that it works.
