feat(core): link to specific version changelog #8341
Conversation
Since [this change](spinnaker/buildtool#48) to spinnaker/buildtool, the OSS release changelog gists have been published with one top-level gist per minor release and individual files for each patch release. Since we can now stably link to each patch release changelog on spinnaker.io, let's point the Help --> Version link there rather than the general Releases page, which just links out ot each individual changelog anyway.

It's worth noting that for OSS users, the "What's New" changelog has been broken for the entirety of the 1.20 release, since Halyard continued to supply the file name as |

@christopherthielen Good to know; in that case, would you be opposed to me removing the OSS What's New widget altogether? |

For OSS users, the only purpose of the What's New module was to open a modal to display the most recent changelog gist. Since [this change](spinnaker#8341), we will instead link directly to the changelog gist on spinnaker.io. This prevents Deck from needing to be configured with the ID and name of the gist. In the next commit, we will remove those config fields.
