[racket-dev] Pre-Release Checklist for v5.3.6

The problems I've observed were only with the tests.

The first problem I reported was caused by a bug/limitation in places,
which was fixed by 733907474190da499a1782b230086170c5b87643. It was
preventing the TR test suite from running properly.

The others were bugs in the TR tests, not in TR itself.

TR itself should be fine for the release.
