Support of additional release plane scenarios

[ladonnaq]

I am creating this epic to track the GitHub issues associated with completion of implementation to support all additional release plan scenarios in the new UI and back-end implementation. I will add links to GitHub issues as they are created.

• [ ] APEX extensions - Private Preview, Public Preview, GA (release plans are supported but need to identify in Release Planner App if the release plan is an extension). - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/issues/7913
• [ ] Release Plans that map to Service, not product - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/issues/7314 https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/issues/7522
• [ ] Multi-Product Release Plans - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/issues/7314
• [ ] non-APEX: TypeSpec and OpenAPI supported but need to identify if the release plan is non-APEX via the Release Planner App - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/issues/6262
• [ ] Existing HLC SDKs
• [ ] Existing OpenAPI DPG + convenience layer, partially supported. Need to determine requirements to fully support.
• [ ] TypeSpec DPG + convenience layer, partially supported. Need to determine requirements to fully support.
  etc.
• [ ] Maintenance release: hot fixes for SDKs
• [ ] Maintenance release: regularly SDK updates like monthly or quarterly refreshes
• [ ] Retirement of service or product REST APIs and SDKs
• [ ] Deprecation or retirement of older API and SDK versions - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/issues/5559

It is a good list to start with. As we have service team onboarding, we will notice which release plans we are mising

@ladonnaq Looks like https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/issues/4537 will be covered in this epic. Do you want to consolidate both into this one?

Extensions would span multiple scenarios. This issue is to track all of the scenarios that we need to support. Next step would be to prioritize and figure out what is needed to support. I would expect that most of the scenarios are subset of release plan for a new initial SDK release so it should hopefully not be too difficult.

While this works happens, @ladonnaq has agreed to add documentation on our website on how to work around tooling limitations

While this works happens, @ladonnaq has agreed to add documentation on our website on how to work around tooling limitations I already did add guidance but if we need to duplicate it or move it let me know. It is here now - https://eng.ms/docs/products/azure-developer-experience/onboard/requirements
