Add a "Changelog" page on extension updates
The change in the project creation and selection workflow through the project and environment selector in extension version v2.3.0, has left many users baffled and frustrated, as in e.g.
- https://community.platformio.org/t/ide-compiles-wrong-project-file/19399
- https://community.platformio.org/t/platformio-compiles-wrong-projects/19769
- https://community.platformio.org/t/platfromio-not-working/19763/5
- https://community.platformio.org/t/ota-uploads-to-wrong-address/19745/11
4 topics created yesterday and today since the release the day before yesterday.
Of course #2410 is related to that in order to be able to have the old behavior (which was reported buggy by users), but I also think it's important that when these workflow changes occurr, that the extension opens up a page after an update where the critical changes are explained. VSCode already does this every time an update is installed (see e.g. https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_54)
This occurred again in https://community.platformio.org/t/platformio-tries-to-upload-to-wrong-port-even-if-declared-in-platformio-ini/19989 -- if a user hasn't worked with PlatformIO for a while and suddenly the workflow changes, confusion is bound to happen.
