This adds a release notes entry to make users (and especially
developers) aware so they no longer need to use </para><para> in option
descriptions as this is now done automatically on every two consecutive
newlines.

This, apparently, is not an official release (it's tagged, but the tarball is not
available on the official site), but this repo is the official repo mentioned on
the official site.
This fixes a bunch of very annoying bugs present in 0.99.4, e.g.
```
$ FBReader filename
```
does not crash anymore. Yay!
Although double '/' in paths is not a problem for GRUB supplied with nixpkgs, sometimes NixOS's grub.conf read by external GRUB and there are versions of GRUB which fail
Generated reverse path filtering rules for the macvlan interface
seem to be incorrect, causing the test to fail - sometimes or always,
depending on the dhcpcd version used.
- Disable reverse path checking temporarily to avoid blocking the channel
- Print more diagnostic information for debugging
The switch from slim to lightdm in #30890 broke some nixos tests
because lightdm by default doesn't permit auto-login for root.
Override /etc/pam.d/lightdm-autologin to allow it.
What annoyed me for a long time was the fact, that in order to break
into a new paragraph, you need to insert </para><para> in the
description attribute of an option.
Now we will automatically create <para/> elements for every block that
is separated by two consecutive newlines.
I first tried to do this within options-to-docbook.xsl, but it turns
out[1] that this isn't directly possible with XSLT 1.0, so I added
another XSLT file that postprocesses the option descriptions that are
now enclosed in <nixos:option-description/> by options-to-docbook.xsl.
The splitting itself is a bit more involved, because we can't simply
split on every \n\n because we'd also split text nodes of elements, for
example:
<screen><![CDATA[
one line
another one
]]></screen>
This would create one <para/> element for "one line" and another for
"another line", which we obviously don't want because <screen/> is used
to display verbatim contents of what a user is seeing on the screen.
So what we do instead is splitting *only* the top-level text nodes
within the outermost <para/> and leave all elements as-is. If there are
more than one <para/> elements at the top-level, we simply don't process
it at all, because the description then already contains </para><para>.
