LOG: [ReleaseNotes][RemoveDIs] Add release note for deprecated insertion methods (#127493)

I've stuck this under "LLVM Infrastructure" as the IR plumbing methods
feel like infrastructure. The LLVM17 release notes stuck similar notes
in that section too.

 ------------------------------
 
+ * Two methods that use Instruction pointers as code positions (moveBefore, getFirstNonPHI) have been deprecated in favour of overloads and variants that use `BasicBlock::iterator`s instead. The pointer-flavoured methods will be removed in a future release. This work is part of the [RemoveDIs](https://llvm.org/docs/RemoveDIsDebugInfo.html) project, the documentation for which contains instructions for updating call-sites using the deprecated methods.
