NEWS: Mention conversion of '-device' to JSON starting with QEMU-6.2

Normally this would be considered an internal detail which we don't
document in the news, but in this case I'd like to make people aware of
the change so that they preferrably report them ASAP.

 * **Improvements**
 
+  * Use of JSON syntax with ``-device`` with upcoming QEMU-6.2
+
+    Libvirt started using JSON directly with the ``-device`` commandline
+    parameter as it's considered the preferred stable syntax for further QEMU
+    releases. If any problems with the conversion are encoutered please
+    report them as soon as possible.
