[ros-release] ROS Groovy EOL Planning

[Tully Foote]

Thanks for tracking that down Shaun and providing a pull-request.
Hopefully, one of the maintainers can merge and make the release.

The references will need to be updated here:
https://code.google.com/p/ros-dry-releases/source/browse/trunk/distros/groovy.rosdistro
before release. But after that it should release fine.
