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

The version of `lsof` packaged in Nixpkgs is very slow on Darwin, so Lix now uses `libproc` directly to speed up GC root discovery, in some tests taking 250ms now instead of 40s. |
