[PATCH] gdb/NEWS: reorder some entries in the NEWS file

I spotted two entries in the NEWS file that I believe are in the wrong
place, these are:
- An entry about MI v1 being deprecated, this feels like it should
be the first entry under the 'MI changes' heading, and
- An entry for the $_shell convenience function which is currently
under the 'New commands' heading (sort of), when I think this
should be listed in the general news section.
---
I've CC'd the authors of the two pieces I've moved in case they
object, otherwise I'll push this in a few days.
Thanks,
Andrew
