NEWS: Configuration changes

The configuration files default-config.json and system-fw.json have been updated to add new items/options.
When installing the deb packages, apt will prompt you to allow the new versions, or keep the ones you already have.

None of the new changes are mandatory, so you don't need to update them. But please, review the changes, and decide if apply them.
