Release of preview work to stable branch

This release, coinciding with the GA release of PowerShell 7,
brings a year of work on the PowerShell extension into the stable release.
The timing of this release is deliberate, since some of the new features
depend on additions and bugfixes in PowerShell 7,
while others have a much better experience in PowerShell 7
thanks to many improvements shipping with it.

Some changes that come to the stable channel in this release include:

• Integration of PSReadLine into the Integrated Console,
  enabling syntax highlighting, a better (and more configurable) completion experience,
  multiline editing and searchable history in the PowerShell Integrated Console
• Performance and reliability improvements gained
  by replacing
  a hand-rolled Language Server Protocol stack
  with the LSP server library from the Omnisharp project
• An ISE compatibility mode
  setting to toggle a more ISE-like user experience
• Debugging improvements in PowerShell 7,
  using its new debugging APIs
• End of support for PowerShell v3/v4 and .NET 4.5.2

After this release, the stable/preview channels will now function as originally intended,
where the preview channel will be the beta release
for features to come out in the following stable release.

You may also notice that the history of the changelog has changed.
For a full list of changes between this release and the previous stable release,
