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

Leading periods were allowed by accident in Nix 2.4. The Nix team has considered this to be a bug, but this behavior has since been relied on by users, leading to unnecessary difficulties. From now on, leading periods are officially, definitively supported. The names . and .. are disallowed, as well as those starting with .- or ..-.

Nix versions that denied leading periods are documented in the issue.
