Overview
During the release process for GeoTrellis, I had to edit some files checked into the repo to add sensitive information. This runs the risk of accidentally committing these values into the tree, and always leaves tracked changes for my personal configuration in the
Makefile.This PR moves them into template files and adds instructions for developers to copy them to the gitignored locations that are actually used by the release process. This way each dev can configure to their own desires and avoid dangerous operations.
