Can we add a note that Node.js 6 support is deprecated, now that it is near EOL?

Otherwise the change is approved on my part.

Even though Node.js 6 EOL is near, I am not sure we should post it right away in this release notes. Additionally, all of our packages including CLI says we support the node engine >= 6.0.0. The package.json wouldn't honor the statement if said.

I think we should make an official statement about the deprecation plan as we did in the past. Since this release is completed, with the exceptions of plugins, I might be able to prepare a deprecation notice. I would though like critiques if possible from everyone. I will base it from our previous statement.

Additionally, will keep the deprecation discussion going in apache/cordova#79

Approved on my part now. (I didn't check the individual dependencies, gonna trust you on those.) I hope this is published asap.
