[pacman-dev] NEWS for 3.4.0 - very, very draft

[Allan McRae]

A very draft NEWS item based on "git shortlog --no-merges master --not 
v3.3.0".  May be a bit makepkg-centric, but numbers of patches for 
makepkg is quite high this time and many pacman patches are the 
"not-newsworthy" type...

Anyway, cut/add entries and I can flash it out some more.

   -D --database option
   show required by in -Sii output
   Architecture --arch option / check package arch / $arch
   --print/--print-format

util:

   rankmirror -> bash
   repo-add - can create "empty" repo when removing last package
