news: Document kernel requirements for virtual networks

After 7431b3eb9a libvirt requires "filter", "nat" and
"mangle" tables to exist for both IPv4 and IPv6. This fact was
missed in the news.xml and since we don't have any better place
to advertise that let's update old news.

This was refined in 686803a1a2 and since that is not released
yet create a new entry documenting the refinement.

The requirement resulting from private chains improvement done
in <code>v5.1.0</code> was refined so that only tables from
corresponding IP version are required. This means that if a
network doesn't have <code>IPv6</code> enabled then those
tables are not required.

Historically firewall rules for virtual networks were added
straight into the base chains. This works but has a number of
bugs and design limitations. To address them, libvirt now puts
firewall rules into its own chains.
