This PR fixes gitpod-io/gitpod#7537

How to Test

• Use preview env https://hw-vs-debug.preview.gitpod-dev.com and choose latest vscode as IDE
• Open a workspace
• It should display release notes after that workspace started
  • Fast command with Gitpod: Show Release Notes should make view force
  • Refresh after we close the release note tab, should not show it again
  • Open another workspace, should not show release notes automatically
• Have Gitpod: Show Release Notes inside the menu/command panel

Something has done but can't test in preview env: Open workspace with Desktop VSCode, the read state of releaseNotes should remember once Setting Sync is enabled

Menu	Command Panel

We should use https://code.visualstudio.com/api/advanced-topics/remote-extensions#sync-user-global-state-between-machines to ensure that a user don’t see already seen changelog across different machines (local and Gitpod workspaces) Example

How can I try it?

Will update description after werft success

It would be good to add Release Notes to some prominent place in the main menu for VS Code Browser, next to documentation links.

gp-code and vscode desktop uses different extensions so it will show again in vscode desktop, I think that's fine 👍

@mustard-mh How do we verify that a new changelog is shown?

@akosyakov Do you mean tracking data? Or how does it check if we need to show a new changelog?

The latter.
