NEWS: add a comment about udev's MemoryDenyWriteExecute= setting (#5414)
Apparently if people are adventurous enought to run Go programs in udev rules they might run into problems with MemoryDenyWriteExecute=. I am pretty sure the best way out is for the toolchain generating programs incompatible with W^X to be fixed, but this still deserves documentation. This was forgotten for the 232 release, hence add it now, retroactively. See: #5400

CHANGES WITH 232:
+ * udev now runs with MemoryDenyWriteExecute=, RestrictRealtime= and
+ RestrictAddressFamilies= enabled. These sandboxing options should
+ generally be compatible with the various external udev call-out
+ binaries we are aware of, however there may be exceptions, in
+ particular when exotic languages for these call-outs are used. In
+ this case, consider turning off these settings locally.
+
* The new RemoveIPC= option can be used to remove IPC objects owned by
the user or group of a service when that service exits.
