Update notifications could not be limited to a specific PowerShell release channel. Add a setting to check only the selected channel’s latest release.

  • Setting: Add powershell.updateChannel, defaulting to latest; options are latest, preview, and lts.
  • Release lookup: Read the selected tag from PowerShell’s tools/metadata.json: StableReleaseTag, PreviewReleaseTag, or LTSReleaseTag.

For example, to receive LTS updates only:

"powershell.updateChannel": "lts"

Patrick Meinecke (@SeeminglyScience) should we continue to be using those infra URLs for current build status or the github metadata JSON? Seems to me the metadata json is more visible (and also less likely to be blocked)
