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.

In errors like `value is an integer while a list was expected`, the message now
includes the failing value.
Before:
```
error: value is a set while a string was expected
```
After:
```
error: expected a string but found a set: { ghc810 = «thunk»;
ghc8102Binary = «thunk»; ghc8107 = «thunk»; ghc8107Binary = «thunk»;
ghc865Binary = «thunk»; ghc90 = «thunk»; ghc902 = «thunk»; ghc92 = «thunk»;
ghc924Binary = «thunk»; ghc925 = «thunk»; «17 attributes elided»}
```
