docs/release-notes: add release notes entry
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds a release notes entry describing a previously fixed bug in the `lncli unlock` command. The actual code change was made in a different pull request. There is no functional change in this commit, so it does not introduce or fix a security issue by itself.
No action needed for this documentation-only commit. Review PR #10536 separately if assessing the underlying fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.0.md to document PR #10536, which fixed a timing issue where lncli unlock could send the unlock request before the wallet was ready during slow database initialization. This commit is purely documentation and contains no code changes.
