Upgrade process and upgrade documentation is ... bad #99

Orchard's upgrade process is a horrible mess. It needs to be one click so we can get back to our work.

The release notes don't help either. The latest release notes are at http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Orchard-1-8-1.Release-Notes and refer to documents that seem to talk about 1.0 => 1.1 upgrades

i.e. http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Upgrading-a-site-to-a-new-version-of-Orchard as well as https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardDoc/blob/master/Documentation/Upgrading-a-site-to-a-new-version-of-Orchard.markdown

The link just below that ("Upgrading from Orchard 1.7.1 and earlier") is broken.

Imagine you're reading the release notes and then trying to upgrade - it's terrible presentation of required instructions.

You need to be more specific than "horrible mess". Also, this is the wrong database: this is the bug database for the documentation. The bugs for the application itself should be filed here: https://orchard.codeplex.com/WorkItem/Create

I've refreshed the upgrading docs a bit, and I've fixed that broken link. Your help is appreciated.
