Specify in 2.16 release notes that /p/ isn't supported anymore

'/p/' was introduced back in Gerrit 2.1.2 as a way to use the SmartHTTP
protocol instead of the dumb one.

From ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotes-2.1.2.txt

"Enable smart HTTP under /p/ URLs

Git 1.6.6 and later support a more efficient HTTP protocol for both
fetch/clone and push, by relying upon Git specific server-side logic.
Gerrit Code Review now includes the necessary server-side support when
accessing repositories using URLs of the form
`http://review.example.com/p/'$projectname'.git`.
Authentication over smart HTTP URLs is performed using standard HTTP
digest authentication, with the username matching the SSH username."

Because the digest authentication isn't supported anymore, any legacy
application using the /p/ prefix wouldn't work anyway.

Current applications and clients should use the /a/ prefix instead
and switch to basic authentication.

P.S. The /p/ prefix has also been taken by the PolyGerrit U.I. and
goes partially in conflict with the legacy syntax.
