Update docs and changelog for URI, RFC822Name, and DNSName (#3955)
* Update docs and changelog for URI, RFC822Name, and DNSName
As of 2.1 we want users to pass A-label strings, but we still accept
U-label strings and auto-encode on their behalf (with a deprecation
warning). However, we do not return U-label in the value attribute so
we are making a backwards incompatible change for users that utilize
internationalized domain names.
* language updates
* add presentational to the word list
* the linux dictionary is pathetic
