35ef34eab7b36e3c53ed438d74a9b783cbcaec27 docs: Remove release 28.0 release notes fragments (Ava Chow)
f5cf43bb912e817cbddd870c6c2f6c615840f5fd build: Bump to 28.99 (Ava Chow)

Pull request description:

  * Bump to 28.99 in preparation for the 28.x branching
  * Remove current release note fragments. They've been moved to [draft release notes]((https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/28.0-Release-Notes-Draft).) in the wiki.
  * Updated bips.md with missing BIPs that were implemented a while ago.

-Notable changes
-===============

-P2P and network changes
------------------------
-
-- Previously if Bitcoin Core was listening for P2P connections, either using
-  default settings or via `bind=addr:port` it would always also bind to
-  `127.0.0.1:8334` to listen for Tor connections. It was not possible to switch
-  this off, even if the node didn't use Tor. This has been changed and now
-  `bind=addr:port` results in binding on `addr:port` only. The default behavior
-  of binding to `0.0.0.0:8333` and `127.0.0.1:8334` has not been changed.
-
-  If you are using a `bind=...` configuration without `bind=...=onion` and rely
-  on the previous implied behavior to accept incoming Tor connections at
-  `127.0.0.1:8334`, you need to now make this explicit by using
-  `bind=... bind=127.0.0.1:8334=onion`. (#22729)
-
-- Bitcoin Core will now fail to start up if any of its P2P binds fail, rather
-  than the previous behaviour where it would only abort startup if all P2P
-  binds had failed. (#22729)

-without manually abandoning the transactions when the parent transaction is dropped

-Mempool Policy Changes
-----------------------
-
-- Transactions with version number set to 3 are now treated as standard on all networks (#29496),
-  subject to Opt-in Topologically Restricted Until Confirmation (TRUC) Transactions policy as
-  described in [BIP 431](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0431.mediawiki).  The
-  policy includes limits on spending unconfirmed outputs (#28948), eviction of a previous descendant
-  if a more incentive-compatible one is submitted (#29306), and a maximum transaction size of 10,000vB
-  (#29873). These restrictions simplify the assessment of incentive compatibility of accepting or
-  replacing TRUC transactions, thus ensuring any replacements are more profitable for the node and
-  making fee-bumping more reliable.
