    Bump version to 3.6.0

commit 06ed6f49253ff244dc9cbcadc840fdf611f11462
Author: Yue Tao <Yue.Tao@windriver.com>
Date:   Thu Nov 25 10:14:45 2021 +0800

    update-passwd.c: set walk to walk->next before removing
    
    update-passwd only removes once and exits even more
    than one items need to be removed. Root cause is walk
    is set to walk->next after remove_node(), in which the
    walk has been cleaned, so the while(walk) is terminated.
    
    Without the fix, the output of update-passwd
    $update-passwd --verbose
    Adding group "postgres" (120)
    Adding group "nova" (162)
    Adding group "barbican" (978)
