docs(changelog): add v1.10.1 release notes

[scotej]

Summary

• add focused v1.10.1 release notes for the AI benchmark fix already merged in fix(ai): benchmark uncached vision requests #172
• explain that cache-cold benchmarking now matches live vision inference
• tell users that old benchmark results are stale and should be rerun

Why

v1.10.0 was tagged before #172 merged. This patch release packages that fix so slower Windows CPU systems do not derive unsafe cadence and timeout settings from prompt-cached benchmark requests.

Validation

• git diff --check
• bash scripts/changelog-section.sh 1.10.1
• required GitHub checks before merge

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added release notes documenting more accurate AI benchmark timings using cache-cold vision workloads.
  • Marked legacy benchmark results as stale until calibration is rerun.
  • Clarified that outdated results no longer influence sampling cadence or request timeouts.
