David Rheinsberg 6319d52fe4 docs: import changelog as NEWS.md
Import a new `NEWS.md` file with the changelog for each release. This is
targetted at distributors, so it should contain information on new
features, modified features, and anything important to packagers. This
is not a replacement for the git-changelog, but rather a human-readable
instruction to packagers what needs to be changed when using the new
release.

Additionally, copy `make release` from *osbuild* to help in creating new
release entries in NEWS.md.

OSBuild Composer - Operating System Image Composition Services

CHANGES WITH 8:

    * All generated pipelines now use the `org.osbuild.rpm` stage of
      *osbuild*, rather than `org.osbuild.dnf`. This improves on splitting
      resource acquisition from image building and should make image
      composition more reliable and faster.

    * The `STATE_DIRECTORY` environment variable now allows changing the
      state directory path of `osbuild-composer`. This is to support older
      systemd versions that do not pass in `StateDirectory=` to the service
      executable.

    * Minor fixes and improvements all over the place.

CHANGES WITH 7:

    * Support for `RHEL 8.1` as image type is now available.

    * Semantic versioning of blueprints in the lorax API is now enforced.
      This was always the case for the original lorax API, and *Composer*
      now follows this as well.

    * Lots of internal improvements, including many automatic tests,
      improved error handling, better cache directory management, as well
      as preparations to move over from `org.osbuild.dnf` to
      `org.osbuild.rpm` in all build pipelines.
