CHANGES: document reasoning for pulling in new Thredds v5, even with …

…minor issues (#486)

## Overview

Document reasoning for pulling in new Thredds v5, even with minor issues
in previous PR #413.

## CI Operations

<!--
The test suite can be run using a different DACCS config with
``birdhouse_daccs_configs_branch: branch_name`` in the PR description.
To globally skip the test suite regardless of the commit message use
``birdhouse_skip_ci`` set to ``true`` in the PR description.

Using ``[<cmd>]`` (with the brackets) where ``<cmd> = skip ci`` in the
commit message will override ``birdhouse_skip_ci`` from the PR
description.
Such commit command can be used to override the PR description behavior
for a specific commit update.
However, a commit message cannot 'force run' a PR which the description
turns off the CI.
To run the CI, the PR should instead be updated with a ``true`` value,
and a running message can be posted in following PR comments to trigger
tests once again.
-->

   Unidata has dropped support for TDS versions < 5.x. This updates Thredds to version 5.5.
 
+  This Thredds v5 actually have 2 minors issues
+  * Magpie Allow or Deny exception under top-level Allow or Deny do not work on NCSS only,
+    see [Ouranosinc/Magpie#633](https://github.com/Ouranosinc/Magpie/issues/633).
+  * Performance problem with WMS only, see [Unidata/tds#406](https://github.com/Unidata/tds/issues/406).
+
+  They are considered minor and not blocking the release because
+  * Magpie top-level Allow or Deny still work across the board,
+    exception under top-level also works across the board,
+    except for NCSS only and NCSS is not widely used.
+  * WMS is not widely used, similar to NCSS.
+
+  Other features from this newer Thredds
+  * Security fixes (newer Tomcat) and if there is a critical vulnerability,
+    we won't be able to stay on v4 series because it is not even available on
+    DockerHub anymore as Unidata has dropped support.
+  * New experimental Zarr support.
