Suggested UPDATING entry:

The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua. If you have custom FORTH code
you will need to set LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in
src.conf for the build. This will create default hard links between loader and loader_4th
instead of loader and loader_lua (the new default). If you are using UEFI and it will
create the proper link to loader.efi.

Looks good to me. Anything else to add to this commit, or should I go ahead and do it with the UPDATED UPDATING?
