[PATCH] D52908: [LLD] [docs] Mention some notable feature in the release notes

Trying to fill in releas notes as we go, even though there's a long way to go still until the branch point for 8.0.

LLD can now link clang.exe from object files compiled with GCC 7.x; with GCC 5.x one still needs https://reviews.llvm.org/D52602 though.

 * The following flags have been added: ``/force:multiple``
 
+* In MinGW mode, lld can now automatically import data variables from
+  DLLs without the use of the dllimport attribute.
+
+* lld-link now can link against import libraries produced by GNU tools,
+  and lld with the MinGW frontend can use existing normal MinGW
+  sysroots. ld.lld can handle most object files produced by GCC, and
+  thus works as a drop-in replacement for ld.bfd in such environments.
+
+* lld can create thunks for ARM, to allow linking images over 16 MB
+  (which link.exe doesn't support).
