Jade Lovelace 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.

Fixes significant

Previously nested-input overrides were ignored; that is, the following did not override anything, in spite of the nix3-flake manual documenting it working:

{
  inputs = {
    foo.url = "github:bar/foo";
    foo.inputs.bar.inputs.nixpkgs = "nixpkgs";
  };
}

This is useful to avoid the 1000 instances of nixpkgs problem without having each flake in the dependency tree to expose all of its transitive dependencies for modification.
