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
