Upgrade notes for s6-rc

As a general rule, if you change major versions, for instance if you upgrade from 0.1.0.0 to 0.2.1.2, you need to recompile your service databases, because the binary format is not guaranteed stable across major version changes. You can keep your compiled service databases across minor and bugfix version changes.
