docs: add release-notes for LND 20.1
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds a line to the release notes document for LND 0.20.1. It describes a previous bug fix (pull request 10439) that ensures a fee-estimation API includes required payment details when probing invoices. The commit itself changes no program code, configuration, or data handling—only documentation.
No security action needed; this is a documentation-only release-notes update. Review PR #10439 separately if assessing the actual code fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff is a single addition to docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.20.1.md summarizing PR #10439, which added a missing payment address/secret during invoice probing so that EstimateRouteFee works with Eclair and LDK nodes that enforce payment secrets. No source code, build scripts, tests, or dependencies are modified.
