docs: Add a note about llvm-shared-libs and libxatracker

Both changes landed in 10.2, and for people not following the
development cycle these will come as a surprise. Note that the
pipe_* interface is not stable.

<h2>Changes</h2>
<ul>
<li>Renamed <i>--with-llvm-shared-libs</i> to <i>--enable-llvm-shared-libs</i></li>
<p>
The option is used to control how mesa is linked against LLVM, and now
defaults to enabled (shared linking).
</p>
<li>Split <i>libxatracker.so</i> into a standalone library which can be used
with any gallium driver.</li>
<p>
Previously the library was linked statically against vmware's virtual gpu
driver(svga), whereas now it loads a shared pipe_*.so driver. Provide the
following options during configure, if you would like support for svga driver
<i>--enable-xa --with-gallium-drivers=svga</i>
</p>
<p>
Note: The files are installed in $(libdir)/gallium-pipe/ and the interface
between them and libxatracker.so is <strong>not</strong> stable.
</p>
</ul>
