Allow to Update-VSTeamWorkItem to add relations with other work items

[mnieto]

PR Summary

This PR is related to #518 Adding the below changes around the Update-VSTeamWorkItem to enable adding relations to another workitems. This could be achived using:

• Update-VSTeamWorkItem: allows mix field changes and relations changes
• *-VSTeamWorkItemLink: allow a simplified way to manage relations of a work item

Proposed added/modified cmdlets:

• Update-VSTeamWorkItem: add a -Relations parameter
• Get-VSTeamWorkItemRelationTypes: list Relations types. Paramerters:
  • Usage: All|resourceLink|workItemLink. Default workItemLink
• New-VSTeamWorkItemRelation: Helper cmdlet that creates an in-memory object to facilitate building the -Relations parameter in Update-VSTeamWorkIte. Parameters:
  • Id Work item to be modified
  • RelationType: Values got from dynamic parameter
  • RelatedWorkItemId Related work item id
  • Operation Add|Remove|Replace
• Add-VSTeamWorkItemLink Parameters:
  • Id workitem to be modified
  • RelationType: Values get from dynamic parameter
  • RelatedWorkItemId Related work item id
• Get-VSTeamWorkItemLink Parameters
  • Id workitem to be modified
  • RelationType Optional. If not specified, return all relations in -Id
• Remove-VSTeamWorkItemLink Parameters
  • Id workitem to be modified
  • RelatedWorkItemId Related work item id

All the above cmdlets will work internally with a JsonPatchDocument or compatible object. Also, below cmdlets will return this object/collection of objects respectively. Using this aproach, the -Relations paramter in the Update-VSTeamWorkItem can be built with the help of New-VSTeamWorkItemRelation or directly as the example at the very beginning of this thread.

• New-VSTeamWorkItemRelation
• Get-VSTeamWorkItemLink

I removed this from the changelog. I exclusively changed to GH native way of doing a changelog. So CHANGELOG.md is not used anymore, but rather but into the squash message when merged to trunk.
