Nikhil Komawar cc869ec7bb Complete and update Newton release notes
* This commit updates any formatting, grammatical or other issues
    in the release notes for Newton
  * It also adds any missing yet important release notes to be part of
    the release

Also, this commit standardizes release note page ordering:

  * In order to support automatically updating the release notes when we
    create stable branches, we want the pages to be in a standard order.
    This patch updates the order to be reverse chronological, so the
    most recent notes appear at the top. ( Inspired by Change
    Ib364dcc8eb31275a31c83b68d7914263b183e393 )

prelude: >
- Glance no longer returns a 500 when 4 byte unicode
characters are passed to the metadefs API.
- Deprecated "sign-the-hash" approach for image signing.
Old run_tests and related scripts have been removed.
upgrade:
- The image signature verification feature has been
updated to follow the "sign-the-data" approach, which
uses a signature of the image data directly. The prior
deprecated "sign-the-hash" approach, which uses a
signature of an MD5 hash of the image data, has been
removed.
security:
- The initial implementation of the image signature
verification feature in Glance was insecure, because it
relied on an MD5 hash of the image data. More details
can be found in bug 1516031. This "sign-the-hash"
approach was deprecated in Mitaka, and has been removed
in Newton. Related CVE-2015-8234.
