doc/next: preannounce a new Linux kernel version requirement

This change adds a preannouncement to the release notes. Go 1.24
will require the Linux kernel to be at version 3.17 or later,
with an exception that systems running 3.10 or later will
continue to be supported if the kernel has been patched to
support the getrandom system call.

For #65614
For #67001
