Change What's New templates for easy copy/paste

Brian Rhea requested to merge map-whats-new-to-www-files into master

What does this MR do and why?

Addresses gitlab-com/Product#4275 (closed)

The What's New process is tedious/repetitive because it's not a simple copy/paste from the release post item files in www-gitlab-com

This MR updates the What's New templates and the corresponding yml files to minimize the amount of time it takes the release post manager to create the What's New MR.

Renames the fields in gitlab to match www-gitlab-com

  • url => documentation_link

  • title => name

  • packages => available_in

  • body => description

  • Rename fields in data/whats_new/*.yml

  • Update references to fields in gitlab/app/assets/javascripts/whats_new/components/feature.vue

  • Update references to fields in gitlab/app/assets/javascripts/whats_new/components/app.vue
