ReleasNotes: Add minimum version requirements 

Adding an explanation on minimum required versions to the release
notes, as well as bumping c-ares to version 1.14.0

The previous minimum (1.5.0) has been released in 2008. The new
version has been choosen to correlate with those distros, that
also provide a minimum version of Qt5 higher than 5.9, as 5.9
is no longer supported in the main branch
