docs: add v0.21.1 release note
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds a release note describing a bug fix that was already merged in a previous pull request. The actual code change happened elsewhere, so this commit itself does not introduce, fix, or alter any executable software. It is purely documentation.
No action needed for this commit. Review the actual fix in PR #10895 if a security assessment of that change is required.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.

+- [Fixed on-chain forward interceptor
+ settlement](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/10895) after the
+ incoming channel force closes. Held forwards are now tracked as off-chain or
+ on-chain entries, allowing an on-chain re-offer to replace the old off-chain
+ hold so settlement reaches the witness beacon. Go callers of the exported
+ `htlcswitch.InterceptedPacket` type should use the new `Deadline` field to
+ distinguish off-chain auto-fail heights from on-chain settlement deadlines,
+ or `AutoFailHeight()` if they only need the legacy flattened value.
