RELEASE_NOTES: Add entry for compiler lifetime tracking fix

* In kernels, lifetime of allocated values (e.g. lists) is now correctly tracked across
function calls (see #1497, #1394). Previous versions (since ARTIQ 1.0) would accept
illegal code that would result in silent memory corruption at runtime.
