## Summary of the Pull Request

TO DO: Upgrade to the latest version of MarkdownTextBlock:
https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Labs-Windows/pull/771

This PR introduces the following changes:
**Removed the custom titlebars on the OOBE Window, and replaced it with
the inbox WinUI `TitleBar` control.**

**New "What's new" experience following the VS Code release notes
experience**
- Created a new SCOOBE Windows that is a standalone window to better
visualize release notes.
- Adding a nav menu on the left to easily switch between release notes,
instead of a long page.
- Point releases are combined with the latest main release.. e.g. 0.96.1
is rendered above 0.96.0.
- The 'hero image' on main release notes will automatically be rendered
at the top of the page.
- Improved markdown styling for better readability.
- Pull requests links can now be clicked.
- Upgraded `CommunityToolkit.Labs.MarkdownTextblock` to the latest
version as it includes much needed bugfixes.

Note: the blurry image shown above will be replaced in new releases by
an image that fits the right dimensions.
