Improve the release process

[herzzanu]

We're using release-it for releasing new versions and lerna changelog through the lerna changelog release-it plugin. For some reason this is currently broken. We need to fix it and possible improve the process. Esentially what should happen when releasing:

• update tag and version
• update changelog
• publish new version to npm
• publish new release to github

An alternative to the release-it package is https://github.com/changesets/changesets We can experiment with this package as well and see if it does a better job at releasing "stress free".
