    Document non-8-bits addressable memory support in NEWS
    
    I think it would be a good idea to document that gdb now has (basic)
    support to read/write memory on architectures with non-8-bits memory.
    Hopefully somebody will see it and say "Hey!  We can now (more easily)
    port GDB to our strange DSP that has 32-bits-addressable memory!" and do
    it.
