DOC: Tidy 1.17.0 release note newlines
I've found that automatic merges seem to go better if there are no blank lines between headers and the content below them. This is consistent with the older release notes anyway

The internal use of these functions has been refactored and there are better

``RuntimeWarning`` when encountering an `numpy.nan`. Since they return the
``nan`` value, the warning is redundant and has been removed.
