Description of Changes

This PR bumps the version numbers throughout the documentation to 2.9.0, and adds an upgrade guide for this release.

I left the instructions for the Tails 6 upgrade in the guide since some folks may not have completed the upgrade as part of the previous release. If we feel these are not necessary I'm happy to remove them. Just let me know!

Resolves #571

LGTM, two nits inline. I think keeping the Tails 6 docs is a good idea for now; if we want to keep them a few months longer, it might be worth reorganizing them into their own section instead of copying them with each upgrade guide. But removing them with 2.10.0 is probably fine.

Thanks @eloquence, that sounds great. I think we're probably okay to remove them in 2.10.0, but we can decide one way or the other closer to that release once we have a better feel for how widely Tails 6 has been adopted.

Thanks! After discussing with @zenmonkeykstop , I added an additional commit which mentions the new Tor PoW option, and links to our guide for enabling it.

Will need another review before it can be merged with the release.
