[Polly][docs] Polly release notes. 

Highlight work that has been done during the development window. After
cherry-picking D72372 to fix PR45001 no workaround is necessary anymore,
but the generalization of the linking mechanism is still worth pointing
out.

Release Notes 10.0

==================



In Polly 10 the following important changes have been incorporated.



.. warning::

- The mechanism that Polly uses to link itself statically into the opt,

  bugpoint and clang executables has been generalized such that it can

  be used by other pass plugins. An example plugin "Bye" has been added

  to LLVM to illustate the mechanism.



  These releaes notes are for the next release of Polly and describe

  the new features that have recently been committed to our development

  branch.



- Change ...
 
- Some ScopInfo methods that are only relevant during SCoP construction

  have been moved into the ScopBuilder class. In addition to making it

  clearer which methods can only be used during the construction phase,

  the refactoring helps shrinking the size of the public header

  ScopInfo.h.
