[gluster-packaging] Announcing GlusterFS release 3.13.0 (Short Term Maintenance)

[Niels de Vos]

FWIW, the centos-release-gluster313 packages have landed on the CentOS
mirrors (in the Extras repository) too. The announements have been sent
out as well:

 - CentOS-7
   https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-December/022692.html
 - CentOS-6
   https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-December/022693.html

Not sure if this should be mentioned on the users list as well. Feel
free to do so :)

Cheers,
Niels
