[PATCH] Put 0.16 NEWS in a reasonable order

[PATCH] Put 0.16 NEWS in a reasonable order

[Austin Clements]

The 0.16 NEWS grew chronologically during development, and as a result
wound up in a particularly odd order.  This rearranges it to put the
most user-visible news first.  Roughly: new features, modified
behavior, bug fixes, then deprecation, with related items grouped.

This does not modify the text of any of the news.
