doc: add release notes for dbcache bump
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds documentation. It creates a release note explaining that the default database cache size setting (-dbcache) has been raised from 450 MB to 1024 MB on systems with at least 4 GB of RAM. There is no code change, no bug fix, and no security issue in this commit itself.
No action required. Review the related PR #34692 if you need to confirm the actual code change that raised the default -dbcache value.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff adds a single markdown file under doc/release-notes-34692.md describing a previously made default value change for the -dbcache option. It is purely release-note documentation: +6 lines, no executable code, no configuration logic, no cryptographic or network changes.

+## Updated settings
+
+- The default `-dbcache` value has been increased to `1024` MiB from `450` MiB
+ on systems where at least `4096` MiB of RAM is detected.
+ This is a performance increase, but will use more memory.
+ To maintain the previous behaviour, set `-dbcache=450`.
Why this scored 15/100
