CHANGES: add release note for the permissions



Since the rsync of skeleton or rootfs now changes the permissions of
the copied files and directories, this may break existing setups that
rely on these permissions being kept. So add a release note explaining
how it should be done.

[Thomas: fixup commit log as suggested by Baruch.]

		2015.08-rc1, not yet released

		Fixes all over the tree and new features.

		Infrastructure: Buildroot takes better care now of generating
		predictable permissions in the target filesystem. However,
		existing permissions on a custom skeleton or rootfs overlay
		will no longer be preserved. Therefore, it is necessary to
		add a permission table (BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE) to set
		the required permissions.

		Minor fixes.
