    relnotes/13.0: note changed AES-NI identification by geli
    
    A user on IRC wondered why his AES-NI-enabled CPU was identified by geli
    as "Crypto: accelerated software" on a 13.0-RC, when 12.2 identified it
    as "Crypto: hardware".
    
    To help alliviate this confusion, make explicit mention of the change.
    While here, also add note to clear up confusion about no functional
    change.
