nixos/release-notes: Add entry about confinement
First of all, the reason I added this to the "highlights" section is
that we want users to be aware of these options, because in the end we
really want to decrease the attack surface of NixOS services and this is
a step towards improving that situation.

The reason why I'm adding this to the changelog of the NixOS 19.03
release instead of 19.09 is that it makes backporting services that use
these options easier. Doing the backport of the confinement module after
the official release would mean that it's not part of the release
announcement and potentially could fall under the radar of most users.

These options and the whole module also do not change anything in
existing services or affect other modules, so they're purely optional.

Adding this "last minute" to the 19.03 release doesn't hurt and is
probably a good preparation for the next months where we hopefully
confine as much services as we can :-)

I also have asked @samueldr and @lheckemann, whether they're okay with
the inclusion in 19.03. While so far only @samueldr has accepted the
change, we can still move the changelog entry to the NixOS 19.09 release
notes in case @lheckemann rejects it.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.09 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09

For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
