Matt Riedemann 625f203610 Update newton release notes for default API policy
We need to update an older release note for newton that talks
about the sample policy file shipped with newton which is a
bit confusing after we moved the policy defaults into code and
make the sample empty.

This also adds a new release note for newton to be more explicit
that the policy.json that's shipped with nova is empty and optional
and only used for overriding the default policy from what is defined
in the code, along with the script used to generate the policy file.

There is another release note about merging the policy to get the
effective policy so that's left out of this.

The API policy defaults are now defined in code like configuration options.
Because of this, the sample policy.json file that is shipped with Nova is
empty and should only be necessary if you want to override the API policy
from the defaults in the code. To generate the policy file you can run::
oslopolicy-sample-generator --config-file=etc/nova/nova-policy-generator.conf
