Publish the cli changelog on helidon.io #389

We should use an update URL that points to helidon.io to avoid breaking the links displayed in the update URLs for older cli version.

The current update URL is https://github.com/oracle/helidon-build-tools/blob/master/helidon-cli/CHANGELOG.md ; this means that we can't rename the helidon-cli directory without breaking the update links.

Note that the current advertised update url does not list the steps to upgrade explicitly.

This makes it difficult for users to understand what to do in response to the update message from the CLI.

When we will setup the new page on helidon.io we need to focus on the update/install steps first and display a link to the changelog (instead of being changelog first with a link to the install steps).

Note that we may host custom pages will any of the links advertised by the cli. E.g. list of available helidon versions (currently pointing at the GitHub release page)
