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.

using `nix profile` on `/nix/var/nix/profiles/default` no longer breaks `nix upgrade-nix` 952 Qyriad Fixes

On non-NixOS, Nix is conventionally installed into a nix-env style profile at /nix/var/nix/profiles/default. Like any nix-env profile, using nix profile on it automatically migrates it to a nix profile style profile, which is incompatible with nix-env. nix upgrade-nix previously relied solely on nix-env to do the upgrade, but now will work fine with either kind of profile.
