In previous patches virKeyFile was replaced with its GLib
counterpart which created an incompatible change: comments can
now begin only with a number sign (#). While this won't probably
affect anyone, mention it in the release notes.

+          With switching of our internal code to GLib, parsing of config files
+          is handed over to GLib which does not support <code>INI</code> style
+          of comments starting with a semicolon (<code>;</code>). Use number
+          sign (<code>#</code>) instead.
