Ryan Ofsky 99ccc02b65 Add release notes about unified bitcoin-qt and bitcoind persistent settings 
If a bitcoind setting like pruning, port mapping, or a network proxy is enabled
in the GUI, it will now be stored in the bitcoin persistent setting file and
shared with bitcoind, instead of being stored as Qt settings backed by the
windows registry or platform specific config files.

GUI changes

Configuration changes made in the bitcoin GUI (such as the pruning setting, proxy settings, UPNP preferences) are now saved to <datadir>/settings.json file rather than to the Qt settings backend (windows registry or unix desktop config files), so these settings will now apply to bitcoind, instead of being ignored.

Also, the interaction between GUI settings and bitcoin.conf settings is simplified. Settings from bitcoin.conf are now displayed normally in the GUI settings dialog, instead of in a separate warning message ("Options set in this dialog are overridden by the configuration file: -setting=value"). And these settings can now be edited because settings.json values take precedence over bitcoin.conf values.
