Niels Lohmann e7fe98180e Address review comments on #5775 and #5779
Allow new defaulted parameters and new default arguments in the API
stability rules, mention the macro opt-in, and drop the redundant
recompile advice. Describe test-diagnostics-optimized as the regression
test for the fixed #5742.

## API stability
Releases follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org): a minor or patch release of version 3.x does not break code

that uses the public API, unless that code opts in to a change with a macro as described [below](#version-40). In
particular, a 3.x release does not:
- change the signature of a function (its parameter types, return type, number of parameters, or the const-ness of a
member function);
- change the signature of a function: the types or order of its existing parameters, its return type, or the
const-ness of a member function. New parameters may be added if they have a default value;
- remove or rename a function or class;
- change which exceptions a function throws, or the [exception ids](../home/exceptions.md);
- change access specifiers or default arguments.
- change access specifiers, or change or remove existing default arguments. New default arguments may be added.
Exceptions to these rules, for instance when fixing a bug requires changing the exception a function throws, are
documented in the [release notes](../home/releases.md).
