Add an initial RELNOTES file. The intent is to provide a convenient location to document changes that are relevant to users of binary FreeBSD distributions, in contrast with UPDATING, which exists to document caveats for users who build FreeBSD from source. This complements the "Relnotes:" tag in commit messages by providing a place to document the change in more detail, or in case a "Relnotes:" tag was accidentally omitted. In particular, "Relnotes:" should be used if you do not intend to document the change in RELNOTES for some reason. Changes to the file should not be MFCed. For now the file will exist only in head, but may be updated via direct commits to stable branches depending on how things go. I took the liberty of pre-populating the file with some recent release notes-worthy changes.

Release notes for FreeBSD 13.0.
This file describes new user-visible features, changes and updates relevant to
users of binary FreeBSD releases. Each entry should describe the change in no
more than several sentences and should reference manual pages where an
interested user can find more information. Entries should wrap after 80
columns. Each entry should begin with one or more commit IDs on one line,
specified as a comma separated list and/or range, followed by a colon and a
newline. Entries should be separated by a newline.
Changes to this file should not be MFCed.

r349352:
nand(4) and related components have been removed.
r349349:
The UEFI loader now supports HTTP boot.
r349335:
bhyve(8) now implements a High Definition Audio (HDA) driver, allowing
guests to play to and record audio data from the host.
r349286:
swapon(8) can now erase a swap device immediately before enabling it,
similar to newfs(8)'s -E option. This behaviour can be specified by
adding -E to swapon(8)'s command-line parameters, or by adding the
"trimonce" option to a swap device's /etc/fstab entry.
r347908-r347923:
The following network drivers have been removed: bm(4), cs(4), de(4),
ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), pcn(4), sf(4), sn(4), tl(4), tx(4), txp(4),
vx(4), wb(4), xe(4).
