Add release note for file descriptor limit change5.15.0

+ A configurable limit on the number of file descriptors that can be opened
+ by a rootwrap-started process has been added. It defaults to 1024, but
+ can be adjusted by setting the ``rlimit_nofile`` option in rootwrap.conf
+ to a larger or smaller value.
+upgrade:
+ - |
+ Because a file descriptor limit was added in this release (see the features
+ section for details), rootwrap processes that were previously relying on
+ inheriting their parent process's descriptor limits may exhaust their
+ available file descriptors. Use the ``rlimit_nofile`` option to restore
+ the previous limits if this is the case.
