doc: Add release note for disallowing some wallet path names
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds a release note document. It describes a previously made change that blocks certain unusual wallet names (like paths containing '..' or '.', or just '/'). There is no code change here, and the note itself is informational documentation.
No action needed for this documentation-only commit. Review the underlying PR #34544 if assessing the actual behavioral change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.

+------

+- Wallets names that are relative paths including `..` and `.` elements, and
+ wallets named `/` are no longer allowed. Any users that depended on this
+ behavior can instead use absolute paths to their wallet or move their wallet
+ to a safer path.
