Clean up release notes for 2.4.
Specifically, remove all the stuff that was listed as new in the 2.2 release notes. Comment out some empty sections. (Note that the "Encrypted UDP based FTP with multicast" protocol is removed because that dissector was backported to master-2.2.)

=== New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
-since version 2.1.1:
+since version 2.2.0:
-* Source code releases are now compressed using xz.
-
-The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
-since version 2.1.0:
-
-* Added -d option for Decode As support in Wireshark (mimics TShark
- functionality)
-* The Qt UI, GTK+ UI, and TShark can now export packets as JSON.
- TShark can additionally export packets as Elasticsearch-compatible
- JSON.
-* The Qt UI now supports the -j, -J, and -l flags. The -m flag is now
- deprecated.
-* The Conversations and Endpoints dialogs are more responsive when
- viewing large numbers of items.
-* The RTP player now allows up to 30 minutes of silence frames.
-* Packet bytes can now be displayed as EBCDIC.
-* The Qt UI loads captures faster on Windows.
-* proto_tree_add_checksum was added as an API. This attempts to
- standardize how checksums are reported and filtered for within
- *Shark. There are no more individual "good" and "bad" filter
- fields, protocols now have a "checksum.status" field that records
- "Good", "Bad" and "Unverified" (neither good or bad). Color filters
- provided with Wireshark have been adjusted to the new display filter
- names, but custom ones may need to be updated.
-
-The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
-since version 2.0.0:
-
-* The intelligent scroll bar now sits to the left of a normal scroll bar and
- provides a clickable map of nearby packets.
-* You can now switch between between Capture and File Format dissection of
-the current capture file via the View menu in the Qt GUI.
-* You can now show selected packet bytes as ASCII, HTML, Image, ISO 8859-1, Raw, UTF-8,
-a C array, or YAML.
-* You can now use regular expressions in Find Packet and in the advanced preferences.
-* Name resolution for packet capture now supports asynchronous DNS lookups only. Therefore the
-"concurrent DNS resolution" preference has been deprecated and is a no-op. To enable DNS name
-resolution some build dependencies must be present (currently c-ares). If that is not the case DNS
-name resolution will be disabled (but other name resolution mechanisms, such as host files,
-are still available).
-* The byte under the mouse in the Packet Bytes pane is now highlighted.
-* TShark supports exporting PDUs via the `-U` flag.
-* The Windows and OS X installers now come with the "sshdump" and "ciscodump" extcap interfaces.
-* Most dialogs in the Qt UI now save their size and positions.
-* The Follow Stream dialog now supports UTF-16.
-* The Firewall ACL Rules dialog has returned.
-* The Flow (Sequence) Analysis dialog has been improved.
-* We no longer provide packages for 32-bit versions of OS X.
-* The Bluetooth Device details dialog has been added.

//=== Removed Dissectors
-=== New File Format Decoding Support
-
-Wireshark is able to display the format of some types of files (rather than
-displaying the contents of those files). This is useful when you're curious
-about, or debugging, a file and its format. To open a capture file (such as
-PCAP) in this mode specify "MIME Files Format" as the file's format in the
-Open File dialog.

-New files that Wireshark can open in this mode include:

-=== Major API Changes
-
-The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:
-
-* The address macros (e.g., SET_ADDRESS) have been removed. Use the
-(lower case) functions of the same names instead.
-
-* "old style" dissector functions (that don't return number of bytes
-used) have been replaced in name with the "new style" dissector
-functions.
-
-* tvb_get_string and tvb_get_stringz have been replaced with
-tvb_get_string_enc and tvb_get_stringz_enc respectively.
