Release notes: more info about 2.4 -> 2.6 migration.

Migration information moved at the end of the file as now they start to
be too long to stay at the top, but a warning was added at the top of
the file to remember the user to check.

Added information about INFO fields that changed name between 2.4 and
2.6.

 Redis 2.6 release notes
+=======================
 
-Migrating from 2.4 to 2.6
-=========================
-
-Redis 2.4 is mostly a strict subset of 2.6. However there are a few things
-that you should be aware of:
-
-* You can't use .rdb and AOF files generated with 2.6 into a 2.4 instance.
-* 2.4 slaves can be attached to 2.6 masters, but not the contrary, and only
-  for the time needed to perform the version upgrade.
-
-There are also a few API differences, that are unlikely to cause problems,
-but it is better to keep them in mind:
-
-* SORT now will refuse to sort in numerical mode elements that can't be parsed
-  as numbers.
-* EXPIREs now all have millisecond resolution (but this is very unlikely to
-  break code that was not conceived exploting the previous resolution error
-  in some way.)
-* INFO output is a bit different now, and contains empty lines and comments
-  starting with '#'. All the major clients should be already fixed to work
-  with the new INFO format.
-* Slaves are only read-only by default (but you can change this easily
-  setting the "slave-read-only" configuration option to "no" editing your
-  redis.conf or using CONFIG SET.
-
-Also the following redis.conf and CONFIG GET / SET parameters changed name:
-
-    * hash-max-zipmap-entries, now replaced by hash-max-ziplist-entries
-    * hash-max-zipmap-value, now replaced by hash-max-ziplist-value
-    * glueoutputbuf option was now completely removed (was deprecated)
