doc: remove release note fragment
I've added the content to
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/v30.0-Release-Notes-Draft.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only deletes a documentation file (a release note fragment). It does not change any code, so it cannot introduce or fix a security bug by itself. The deleted text described an earlier overflow bug in an index feature, but that bug was already addressed in a previous code change referenced by the release note.
No security action needed for this commit. Review the actual code change that fixed the coinstatsindex overflow (associated with issue/PR 30469) if a security assessment of that fix is required.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
Commit 0f0e6fe7f5f467353704c3a4f51ceb9a4e2cf0a0 removes doc/release-notes-30469.md, a release-note fragment about coinstatsindex. The diff shows only a file deletion with no source-code modifications. The fragment itself references a prior overflow bug in coinstatsindex (PR/issue 30469), but the actual fix is not present in this commit. Therefore, this commit has no direct security effect.

-- The implementation of coinstatsindex was changed to prevent an overflow bug that could already be observed on the default Signet. The new version of the index will need to be synced from scratch when starting the upgraded node for the first time. The new version is stored in `/indexes/coinstatsindex/` in contrast to the old version which was stored at `/indexes/coinstats/`. The old version of the index is not deleted by the upgraded node in case the user chooses to downgrade their node in the future. If the user does not plan to downgrade it is safe for them to remove `/indexes/coinstats/` from their datadir. A future release of Bitcoin Core may remove the old version of the index automatically.
