Remove `$(TOP)/ANNOUNCE` file

Remove `$(TOP)/ANNOUNCE` because maintaining this file is expensive
for each release.

Currently, release announcements of ghc are made on ghc blogs and wikis.

-
- * A correctness issue resulting in undefined behavior in some programs
-   using STM (#14171)
-
- * A bug which may have manifested in segmentation faults in
-   out-of-memory condition (#14329)
-
- * clearBit of Natural no longer bottoms (#13203)
-
- * A specialisation bug resulting in exponential blowup of compilation
-   time in some specialisation-intensive programs (#14379)
-
- * ghc-pkg now works even in environments with misconfigured NFS mounts
-   (#13945)
-
- * GHC again supports production of position-independent executables

-Background
-~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Haskell is a standardized lazy functional programming language.
-
-GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an
-optimising compiler generating efficient code for a variety of platforms,
-together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The
-distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of
-libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency,
-exceptions, and foreign language interfaces. GHC is distributed under a
-BSD-style open source license.
-
-A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,
-specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact
-information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page
-(see below).
