    relnotes: clarify that snapshots were previously possible without SU+J
    
    A journalist reviewing FreeBSD 13.2 interpreted "it is now possible to
    take snapshots on UFS filesystems when running with journaled soft
    updates" to mean that UFS snapshots were a new feature in 13.2 and
    required SU+J to be enabled. Clarify that snapshots were already
    available, but not compatible with SU+J.

 It is now possible to take snapshots on UFS filesystems when running with journaled soft updates.
 Thus it is now possible to do background dumps on live filesystems running with journaled soft updates.
 Background dumps are requested by using the `-L` flag to man:dump[8].
+(In previous releases UFS snapshots were incompatible with journaled soft updates.)
