410f99faed47e27fca77531a864383b6119e7b0b build_msvc/bitcoin_config.h is generated using build_msvc/msvc-autogen.py (CallMeMisterOwl)
Pull request description:
Added a function that parses version information from `configure.ac` into `build_msvc/bitcoin_config.h`. This is done by default in `msvc-autogen.py`, so manual changing of `build_msvc/bitcoin_config.h` is no longer required.
In addition to that I updated the Release Process doc.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
