Alayan-stk-2 dac94fad57 Changelog additions (#3377) 
* Remove a duplicate mention of deveee ; add Fantasmos and QwertyChouskie

Fantasmos has contributed :
- Illimited splitscreen multiplayer (involves also race UI improvements in local multiplayer)
- Flashing bubble gum before expriation
- Crash sounds changing depending on speed/direction
- Better rescue
- Misc fixes

QwertyChouskie has contributed :
- New skidding particles
- Misc. fixes and improvements

* Add most of the significant changes (for finished features) since 0.9.3 to the changelog

* Include two more changes for the 0.9.3 version

* Add a few items, clearly separate track/modelling changes

Also, each new track get one line of changelog. Putting two on the same line vastly underestimate the importance of such a change. This also make it easier to mention removed/replaced tracks.

The changelog should not be shortened at all costs ; rather, it should be reasonably complete and not shy from using more lines as a visual cue when appropriate.

* Add kart and tracks subsection, improve changelog organization for 0.7.x versions

* More sorting for 0.6.x releases

* Improve info on track changes in 0.4/0.5

* Add android input improvements to the changelog

* Fix typo

* Remove incomplete name change info

# Changelog
This file documents notable changes to SuperTuxKart across versions since its inception.
It should be kept in mind that some versions have a less complete changelog than others, and that this changelog do not list the details of the many small bugfixes and improvements which together make a significant part of the progress between releases.
For similar reasons, and because some features are vastly more complex than others, attributions of main changes should not be taken as a shorcut for overall contribution.
