[NEWS/RFA] document hppa64-hpux support status

Hello,

Here is a patch against NEWS to document the status of hppa64-hpux.
I wasn't sure how to document this, since gdb-6.7 is also affected.
Rather than burying this in the gdb-6.7 section, I elected to put
it in the "since gdb-6.7" section, where people are more likely
to read it. I've added a note explicitly confirming that gdb-6.7
is also broken.

        * NEWS: Document status of hppa64-hpux support.

I suggest this for the HEAD and 6.7 branch. Is that OK?
