Cleanup and close changelog for 5.4.0 (#4099)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
The Changelog in the 5.4/5.x branch got completely messed up, so this
is cleaning it. Some changes might be required still depending on what exactly
makes it into 5.3.2, but this should be fairly sane.
