Add note to docs on release notes prelude section

This commit adds a note to the developer documentation for adding a note
to the prelude section.

It was mentioned in this change [1] that adding notes to the prelude
section for those that are not significantly important isn't
necessary. So, this commit adds a general notice so the docs about the
same.

$ tox -e releasenotes
This will create the HTML files under ``releasenotes/build/html/``.
**NOTE**: The ``prelude`` section in the release notes is to highlight only the
important changes of the release. Please word your note accordingly and be
judicious when adding content there. We don't encourage extraneous notes and at
the same time we don't want to miss out on important ones. In short, not every
release note will need content in the ``prelude`` section. If what you're
working on required a spec, then a prelude is appropriate. If you're submitting
a bugfix, most likely not; a spec-lite is a judgement call.
