Dmitry Podgorny 0f0659aa09 autotools: fix make dist command
Now, `make dist` can be used for generating tarballs. It simplifies
making proper release tarballs. Also, it includes some files, that
are removed in RELEASE_GUIDE.md:
 - apidocs/
 - CHANGELOG
 - theme_template
It is a good idea to include such a kind of documentation.

Update RELEASE_GUIDE.md.
