[RISCV] Add a release note about tail folding being enabled. NFC
It's probably useful for users to know how to get the old scalar epilogue back if they need it.

112+
* The loop vectorizer now performs tail folding by default on RISC-V, which
113+
removes the need for a scalar epilogue loop. To restore the previous behaviour
114+
use `-mllvm -prefer-predicate-over-epilogue=scalar-epilogue`.
112115
* `llvm-objdump` now has basic support for switching between disassembling code
113116
and data using mapping symbols such as `$x` and `$d`. Switching architectures
114117
using `$x` with an architecture string suffix is not yet supported.
