Inserting newlines is not the important part of this variable's
effect. The important part is filling the text, and shr does that
with fixed-pitch and variable-pitch fonts alike. The NEWS entry
should describe this important part.

I evidently fail to explain myself, so let me just propose an entry
as I envisioned it:
*** EWW now enables 'visual-wrap-prefix-mode' when 'shr-fill-text' is nil.
By default, 'shr-fill-text' is t, and EWW fills the text according to
the width of the window. If you customize 'shr-fill-text' to nil,
EWW will now automatically turn on 'visual-wrap-prefix-mode' in
addition to 'visual-line-mode', so that long lines are wrapped at
word boundaries near window edge and the continuation lines are
indented using prefixes computed from surrounding context.
