news: Promote some things to a general section

Date range search may be implemented as a library change, but it's an
important user-facing change that affects all notmuch usage.  Tag name
restrictions aren't as important, but they affect both the CLI
interface and the Emacs interface.

Notmuch 0.15 (YYYY-MM-DD)
=========================
General
-------
Date range search support
The `date:` prefix can now be used in queries to restrict the results
to only messages within a particular time range (based on the Date:
header) with a range syntax of `date:<since>..<until>`. Notmuch
supports a wide variety of expressions in `<since>` and
`<until>`. Please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms(7)` manual page
for details.
Empty tag names and tags beginning with "-" are deprecated
Such tags have been a frequent source of confusion and cause
(sometimes unresolvable) conflicts with other syntax. notmuch tag
no longer allows such tags to be added to messages. Removing such
tags continues to be supported to allow cleanup of existing tags,
but may be removed in a future release.
