Add some of the biggest libnvme API changes to NEWS.md. There are likely some more.

what is missing?

  • support for Windows
  • splitting of the previously single command initiazation and submission into: nvme_cmd_init & nvme_submit
  • python bindings changes
  • moving fabrics code into the library
  • introduction of nvmf_context (hooks etc)
  • preference to use 64bit ioclt instead the 32bit version
  • diagnostic API
  • nvme top
  • global ini configuration
  • nvme utils - introspection for auto generation completion
  • nvme disconnect accepts now all fabrics command line options
  • PDC/EPCSD support extended/added
  • Refactoring/cleanups in nvme discover code path
  • Read sysfs attribute lazy -> avoid overhead when scanning sysfs tree
  • nvme keys: new plugins to handle TLS/KXCHAP secrets/keys (breaking change)
  • nbft parser extended/hardened
  • introduction of internal library for shared/common code

Maybe I can ask Claude to check all the changes since the last release and make a list of all the user-facing API changes/additions.
