docs: add release note for `tor.v2` deprecation
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds a sentence to the release notes stating that Tor v2 onion service support is deprecated and the `--tor.v2` option will be hidden. It is a documentation-only change with no code modifications.
No action required; this is a documentation-only release note. Review the actual implementation PR (#10254) if assessing the security relevance of the deprecation itself.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
