doc: add release notes for 32800
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds release notes describing a prior code change (PR #32800). It documents that several RPC calls now expose two separate virtual-size fields and that the old `vsize` field is deprecated. There is no code change here, only documentation.
No security action needed; this is a documentation-only commit. Review the underlying PR #32800 separately if you want to assess the security relevance of the actual RPC field changes.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff creates doc/release-notes-32800.md, a nine-line release note. It explains that getrawmempool, getmempoolentry, testmempoolaccept, submitpackage, and getrawtransaction now return vsize_adjusted (sigop-adjusted policy vsize) and vsize_bip141 (raw BIP141 vsize), and that the existing vsize field is deprecated. No executable code is modified.

+- Mempool RPCs (`getrawmempool`, `getmempoolentry`, `testmempoolaccept`, `submitpackage`)
+now include an additional field `vsize_adjusted` (which is the sigop-adjusted virtual size
+used for policy) and `vsize_bip141` (which represents the raw BIP141 virtual size).
+While `vsize` is marked as DEPRECATED, it was previously erroneously described as the BIP 141
+vsize, but is actually sigops-adjusted vsize. Use `vsize_bip141` to actually get that behavior
+or switch to the explicit `vsize_adjusted` for retained behavior.

+- `getrawtransaction` RPC now includes an additional field `vsize_adjusted`, which is the
+sigop-adjusted virtual size if the transaction is in the mempool.
