[ng] vartypos: update news file

* NG-NEWS (Warnings and diagnostic):  Diagnostic about typos in
'_SOURCES' etc. variable is issued at make, not automake, runtime,
and when undesired can be silenced (totally or partly) with the
help of the 'AM_VARTYPOS_WHITELIST' variable.

+* Diagnostic about possible typos in '_SOURCES', '_LIBADD, '_LDFLAGS',
+  '_LDADD' and '_DEPENDENCIES' variables is now done at make runtime
+  rather than at automake runtime.  In case some (or all) such diagnostic
+  is undesired, it can be silenced by adding the affected variables to
+  the 'AM_VARTYPOS_WHITELIST' variable, as in:
+
+        bin_PROGRAMS = cp mv
+        copy_LDADD = -lselinux -lrt -acl
+        cp_LDADD = $(copy_LDADD)
+        mv_LDADD = $(copy_LDADD)
+        # Without this, the generated Makefile would complain that
+        # no program or library has 'copy' as canonical name.
+        AM_VARTYPOS_WHITELIST = copy_LDADD
