Integrate old INSTALL into README.md, both files had a lot
of (potential) overlap.
Add template for new entries in NEWS, targetting next release.
Bump version number to 6.99-20211218
Tentatively, with the Github migration and all ongoing code
restructuring, we aim for a version 7.0 release at some point
in the future.
