[ale] Ubuntu 18.04 release notes

[DJ-Pfulio]

Python2 is in the "universe" repo, so don't freak out.

Canonical has ported their stuff to v3 and all packages created by them
will be moved to v3.  That's a good thing.

But really, anyone doing their own python development who doesn't want
to be 100% dependent on the system python should be using an environment
manager like ruby and perl devs do.

Quit complaining. ;)
