#686 Add release notes for the aesh CLI migration

Record the user-facing effects of the picocli/Quarkus -> aesh migration under
1.1.0-SNAPSHOT: the framework swap and faster startup, the removal of the
`hardwood help` subcommand, the new zsh/fish completion scripts, and native
LZ4/LZ4_RAW read support.

 ## 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
 
 - Physical `skip(N)` on multi-file row readers is now a true global offset over the concatenated input files; skipped files have their footers read for row counts, but their data pages are not decoded.
+- The `hardwood` CLI is now built on the aesh command framework instead of picocli/Quarkus; removing the Quarkus/CDI bootstrap makes the CLI start faster
+- `hardwood help <command>` is removed — use `hardwood <command> --help` (or `-h`)
+- Shell completion scripts are now generated for zsh and fish in addition to bash
+- The native `hardwood` binary now reads LZ4 and LZ4_RAW compressed files
