doc: release note for IPC cooldown and interrupt
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds release-note documentation describing two new behaviors in the mining inter-process communication (IPC) interface: a startup cooldown for createNewBlock and a new interrupt() method. It contains no code changes and no security fix or vulnerability.
No security action needed; treat as routine documentation-only commit.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff creates doc/release-notes-34184.md, an 8-line release note. It documents that Mining.createNewBlock now waits for initial block download (IBD) to finish and for the tip to catch up by default, and that Mining.interrupt() can interrupt Mining.waitTipChanged and Mining.createNewBlock. There are no source-code modifications, no bug fixes, and no security-relevant changes in the diff itself.

+Mining IPC
+----------
+
+- `Mining.createNewBlock` now has a `cooldown` behavior (enabled by default)
+ that waits for IBD to finish and for the tip to catch up. This usually
+ prevents a flood of templates during startup, but is not guaranteed. (#34184)
+- `Mining.interrupt()` can be used to interrupt `Mining.waitTipChanged` and
+ `Mining.createNewBlock`. (#34184)
