Jade Lovelace 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.

Add a builtin `addDrvOutputDependencies` 9216 7910

Features

This builtin allows taking a drvPath-like string and turning it into a string with context such that, when it lands in a derivation, it will create dependencies on all the outputs in its closure (!). Although drvPath does this today, this builtin starts forming a path to migrate to making drvPath have a more normal and less surprising string context behaviour (see linked issue and PR for more details).
