Release notes live on sourcegraph.com/changelog; older changelogs are no longer supported.

  • Delete docs/technical-changelog.mdx
  • Redirect /technical-changelog and /CHANGELOG to https://sourcegraph.com/changelog
  • /releases: drop the Deprecated Releases table, list only the two newest major versions in the Supported Releases table, and drop superfluous columns
  • Drop the page's Algolia and CSpell exclusions

Release notes are published on sourcegraph.com/changelog; older changelogs
are no longer supported. Redirect /technical-changelog and /CHANGELOG (the
target of the GitHub release notes for 5.4 through 5.7) there, and drop the
Notes link from /releases rows older than 5.7.0. Remove the page's
exclusions from the Algolia index and the CSpell ignore list.

Sourcegraph supports the two most recent major versions, so the Supported
Releases table now filters the release registry to those (7.x and 8.x
today) instead of listing everything it returns back to 6.4. Drop the
always-checked Supported column and the hand-maintained Deprecated
Releases table, which stopped at 5.10; sourcegraph.com/changelog/releases
lists every release.

Direct preview links to pages changed in this PR:

Removed introductory paragraph and streamlined release information.
v8.0.0 and v7.7.359 rather than "8.0 Patch 0" and "7.7 Patch 1", matching
the sourcegraph.com/changelog URLs the rows link to. Every Install link
went to the same generic deploy page, through a redirect.

The registry's promoted_at is an ISO timestamp, so the date is its first
ten characters; this also stops the date shifting with the reader's
timezone.

As part of this PR, do we want to remove 3.x to 5.x from the legacy versions page (https://sourcegraph.com/docs/legacy) as well?

@enriquegh yes, in a follow up PR, we should either delete that page if it's no longer needed, or rename it from "legacy" to "versions" or similar.
