bin/admin/build-news generates empty sections when a project has had no changes.

We should probably write something like "No significant changes have been made for this release." in this case.

This bug was fixed along with bug #4291 as part of [28402]. However, the fix there simply does not generate a news section for projects that have had no changes. A section that says "No significant changes made for this release" would actually be more helpful and less confusing to users, I think.

If there are only "misc" changes in the project's topfiles section, the NEWS entry looks like:

Twisted News 10.0.0 (2010-06-06)
================================

Other
-----
 - #7777

This should include text like "No significant changes have been made for this release" before listing the miscellaneous changes.

(In [29217]) If there were no changes, say so. refs #4191

I've changed the test that said "omit the section if there are no changes". I think the branch is ready for review.

When generating NEWS sections for projects with no changes, include a message saying that the project has had no changes.
