docs: add news item about gnulib removal 

While we have CI testing coverage for many platforms, we don't test any
non-glibc based Linux and there are other non-Linux platforms we don't
officially target, both of which might hit regressions.

<summary>
use of gnulib has been completely eliminated
</summary>
<description>
Historically libvirt has embedded gnulib to provide fixes for
various platform portability problems. This usage has now been
eliminated and alternative approaches for platform portability
problems adopted where required. This has been validated on the
set of platforms covered by automated CI build testing. Other
modern Linux distros using glibc are expected to work. Linux
distros using non-glibc packages, and other non-Linux platforms
may encounter regressions when building this release. Please
report any build problems encountered back to the project
maintainers for evaluation.
