docs: note the inclusive canonicalization output change for upgraders

[cjbarth]

Summary

#541 made inclusive canonicalization (http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315 and its #WithComments variant) render namespace declarations as the C14N specification requires. For the affected document shapes the digest differs from 6.1.x, so a signer and a verifier on different versions reject each other's signatures.

This adds a subsection to ## Upgrading that lists those shapes, says to upgrade signers and verifiers that exchange such documents together, and notes that exclusive canonicalization is unaffected. The changelog is generated from PR titles, so the migration advice has to live in the README.

The listed shapes were checked against lxml's C14N output: this release matches it in each case and 6.1.2 does not.

Documentation only.
