jade 272db8af1b doc: add release note credits and categories for all the changes in Lix
This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything
about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have
consistent credit.

nix profile now uses names to refer to installed packages when running list, remove or upgrade as opposed to indices. Indices have been removed. Profile element names are generated when a package is installed and remain the same until the package is removed.

Warning: The manifest.nix file used to record the contents of profiles has changed. Lix will automatically upgrade profiles to the new version when you modify the profile. After that, the profile can no longer be used by older versions of Lix.
