Make the user to give up his firstborn, err, to knowingly

verify installing an unstable developer release.  Also bump
the release to 5.7.0, but leave a patch tag in the local
patches saying that this is not yet the real thing.

+    This is an UNSTABLE DEVELOPMENT release.
+    (The patchlevel, $xpatchlevel, is odd--as opposed to even,
+     and that signifies a development release.  If you want a
+     maintenance release, you want an even-numbered release.)
+
+    Do ***NOT*** install this into production use.
+    Data corruption and crashes are possible.
+
+    It is most seriously suggested that you do not continue any further
+    unless you want to help in developing and debugging Perl.
