P2P and network changes
-----------------------

Before this release, Bitcoin ABC had a strong preference to try to connect only
to peers that listen on port 8333 (default). As a result of that, eCash nodes
listening on non-standard ports would likely not get any Bitcoin ABC peers
connecting to them. This preference has been removed.

Add a release note about the removal of the default port preference for outbound connections
