nixos/release-notes: mention that dhcpcd stopped giving IPv4 addresses to bridges by default
This is an backward incompatible change from upstream dhcpcd [0], as this could have easily locked me out of my box. As dhcpcd doesn't allow to use only a blacklist (denyinterfaces in dhcpcd.conf) of devices and use all remaining devices, while explicitly allowing some interfaces like bridges, I think the best option would be to not change anything about it and just educate the users here about that edge case and how to solve it. [0] https://roy.marples.name/archives/dhcpcd-discuss/0002621.html (cherry picked from commit eeeb2bf8035b309a636d596de6a3b1d52ca427b1)
