Add a changelog entry describing the impacts of ARI on short renew_before_expiry (#10323)

Fixes #10312. This is perhaps overly detailed, but I was hoping that by
giving a viable path forward it would forestall requests to change it
back, add a flag to ignore ari, or otherwise change the behavior. Very
open to suggestions on wording/content/length/etc.

polling for finalization readiness.
* The --preferred-profile and --required-profile flags now have their values stored in
the renewal configuration so the same setting will be used on renewal.
* Fixed an unintended change introduced in 4.0.0 where `renew_before_expiry` could not be
shorter than certbot's default renewal time. If the server does not provide an ARI
response, `renew_before_expiry` will continue to override certbot's default. However,
an early ARI response will override a later `renew_before_expiry` time, to account for
notifications in case of certificate revocation, especially with the impending deprecation
of OCSP (https://letsencrypt.org/2024/12/05/ending-ocsp/). To force a later date, users
can replace certbot's default cron job and/or systemd timer with one of their own timing.
