Update NEWS for 1.5.78 and 1.6.0pre1

Based on the release notes. Add an entry for 1.6.0 with in progress instead of a date to hold the release notes for 1.6.0pre1 rather than creating separate entries for each release candidate. Users who track the release candidates can refer to the public announcements, and this will be cleaner when reading history later on.
