[PATCH] doc: mention cp's new support for NFSv4 ACLs |

This is the NEWS change that belongs with yesterday's
"build: update gnulib submodule to latest" commit.
At first I was going to call this a bug fix, but couldn't
really say when the bug was introduced, since NFSv4 ACLs
are relatively new. So I'm calling it an "Improvement".
I noticed today that I have not yet pushed that gnulib-updating
commit, even though it is in the snapshot I did publish.
Opinions on whether to amend that commit to include this
NEWS update before I push? I'm tempted, since snapshots
don't really matter once the release is made, while keeping
documentation like this together with the associated change
may be worth something in the long run.
