8afca32 doc: add bitcoin_config.h PACKAGE updates to release process (Jon Atack)
3ee28c5 build: bump bitcoin_config.h packages to v0.18 (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  - Bump PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING in `build_msvc/bitcoin_config.h` from 0.17 to 0.18 (follow-up to 48ed65b).

  - Update `doc/release_process.md` (follow-up to e47dc4f), new version visible [here](https://github.com/jonatack/bitcoin/blob/bitcoin_config-and-release_process-updates/doc/release-process.md).

  - Perhaps worth backporting the version updates to 0.18.0.
