api-changelog: Clarify change in behavior at feature level 152. 

The change in behavior suggesting the need for this clarification is
summarized below, as discussed in the following topic:
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/378-api-design/topic/update_message.20default.20notifications
The new text is as suggested by Greg Price.

The change at feature level 152 made the moving of topics within and
between streams more consistent, by applying the optional parameters
introduced for the latter to both cases (`send_notification_to_[new|old]_thread`).

The default for the `old` notification value was changed to `false` at
this point, but the equivalent `new` value was not. This introduced a
change in behavior for existing clients of the API when moving topics
within streams, which now always produce a notification message by
default.

The improved consistency and default behavior for new API clients were
considered primary factors at the time of this change, overriding
concerns over backwards compatbility.
