Help: Add release note about compilers that no longer build CMake itself
The introduction of libuv requires some intrinsics such as InterlockedOr that are not available on VS 2005 and below or on MinGW.org's mingw32. Add a release note that we no longer support these compilers for CMake itself.

+doc-compilers-dropped
+---------------------
+
+* Support for building CMake itself with some compilers was dropped:
+
+ * Visual Studio 7.1 and 2005 -- superseded by VS 2008 and above
+ * MinGW.org mingw32 -- superseded by MSYS2 mingw32 and mingw64
+
+ CMake still supports generating build systems for other projects using
+ these compilers.
