[ng] news: tweak and reorganize a bit

* NG-NEWS: Move the existing entries describing obsolete features that
have been removed out of the section "Miscellaneous" and into a new
section (aptly named "Obsolete Features Removed").   Move an entry
relevant to support for distribution from the section "Miscellanea"
into the section "Distribution".  Improve separation of different
sections with more use of vertical spacing.
