jade dcc7ea5498 release notes: add a bunch of them
Also fix typos introduced by the commits I read.

I have run the addDrvOutputDependencies release note past Ericson since
I was confused by what the heck it was doing, and he was saying it was
reasonable.

synopsis: "Add an option `always-allow-substitutes` to ignore `allowSubstitutes` in derivations"

You can set this setting to force a system to always allow substituting even
trivial derivations like `pkgs.writeText`. This is useful for
[`nix-fast-build --skip-cached`][skip-cached] and similar to be able to also
ignore trivial derivations.
