New release notes: OLDCARD removed, ath(4) transmit rate control

modules, wlan(4) overhaul with particular mention of the wlan_wep
module, amr(4) PAE-safe (+MFC), matcd(4) removed, wd(4) removed for
pc98, ifconfig(8) reorg and update.

Culled from random skimming of HEAD commit messages.

Somewhat belatedly bump copyright date while here.
