release-notes: use CHANGELOG.md

Add a file CHANGELOG.md in the root Subsurface directory
and track this file with the `-text merge=union` attribute.

This prevents merge conflicts if release notes are added
on top of the file by different commits.

Also, make ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotes.txt point to that file.
