MediaGoblin 0.12.0

This release resolves two significant issues in the Celery backend media
processing. The first was causing processed media to be marked as failed and the
second was inhibiting useful error messages. We've also resolved installation
issues caused by deprecated upstream code in the Werkzeug and jsonschema
libraries.

We've added provisional `gmg serve` and `gmg celery` commands to simplify
deployment. These commands may change in the future and are not yet recommended
in the deployment documentation. If your deployment is already running smoothly,
there's no reason to switch at this stage.

Please note that installation currently fails on Debian Testing (Bookworm) and
Arch Linux at `./configure`. These issues appear to be related to versions of
autoconf > 2.69. We currently recommend deployment on Debian Bullseye and
Fedora 33.
