Added missing whats_new and api_changes entries.

@tacaswell tacaswell added this to the v1.4.0 milestone Jul 12, 2014
* matplotlib now uses a less-aggressive call to ``gc.collect(1)`` when
closing figures to avoid major delays with large numbers of user objects
in memory. You may want to manually call ``gc.collect()`` if you are worried
about stray matplotlib object.s

typo at the end of this sentence. Also, I really think this should be coached carefully. I don't want to see a proliferation of gc.collect() calls by people prematurely optimizing. Perhaps a little bit of context would be needed?

It's possible we could just take out the second sentence altogether, unless there are true situations in which it is required/helps. I'm not sure there are, but maybe I'm just not aware of them...

I think people who need it just know about it, so I am 👍 for removing that last sentence.

I probably should squash these down before it gets merged.
