Description

We use releasedocmaker to generate changes and releasenotes from JIRA. Some of the characters used in JIRA are technically legal in markdown but for some reason cause problems when passed through to maven-site-plugin 3.6. Experiments have shown that maven-site-plugin seems to handle a lot of these situations better. Let's upgrade it.
