Release Notes for LibreOffice 7.5 and new functionalities

[Stéphane Guillou]

Hi all

I will work today on updating release notes and tagging corresponding 
enhancement requests in Bugzilla with the whiteboard value 
"inReleaseNotes:*", but as Jean-Baptiste said, if there is no bug report 
linked to the new feature, it will easily pass under our radar. Good 
testing before RC does depend on those release notes a fair bit.

Thank you all!
