docs: remove release note for DNS fallback panic of 0.22.0
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only removes a sentence from the release notes document for version 0.22.0. It does not change any program code, so it cannot by itself introduce, fix, or alter a security vulnerability. The deleted text described a previously documented bug fix (a daemon crash caused by mishandling DNS records), but the actual code change was made elsewhere and is not present in this commit.
No action is required for this documentation-only change. If reviewing the underlying vulnerability, examine the actual code change in PR #10914 rather than this release-notes edit.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff deletes six lines from docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.22.0.md. Those lines referenced PR #10914 and described a panic in DNS fallback SRV lookup due to an unconditional type assertion to *dns.SRV and an out-of-bounds index on empty LookupHost results. No source code is modified. Therefore this commit has no direct security effect on the LND binary.
