  Drop YAJL 1 support

will do: saying that we're dropping it in favour of YAJL 2 is not
really accurate anyway, since we have mantained support for both in
parallel for a very long time :)

I disagree this is release notes material, but if you really want to
include it move 'make' inside the <code> element.
