Change to release notes format

As from this release, the file BooleSys/doc/release.notes is frozen
Instead, there will be a file per release in the new ReleaseNotes directory. e.g. this file is called ReleaseNotes/v32r0.md

Changes to compiler support

As from this release, support for gcc49 is dropped
This means that C++14 is now fully supported

As from this release, support for gcc7 is added
Note that C++17 is not yet fully supported, waiting for support from ROOT
