SM 6.9 - Version info and basic release notes. (#8053)

This PR updates necessary version info for a release. Also adds bullet
to the release notes. Will need to do a better review to get a
collection of changes for the release notes as we didn't manage notes
for changes as they went in this release.

+#### Experimental Shader Model 6.10
+
 - Moved Linear Algebra (Cooperative Vector) DXIL Opcodes to experimental Shader Model 6.10

+- Implement GetGroupWaveIndex and GetGroupWaveCount in experimental Shader Model 6.10.
   - [proposal](https://github.com/microsoft/hlsl-specs/blob/main/proposals/0048-group-wave-index.md)
   - GetGroupWaveIndex: New intrinsic for Compute, Mesh, Amplification and Node shaders which returns the index of the wave within the thread group that the the thread is executing.
-  - GetGroupWaveCount: New intrinsic for Compute, Mesh, Amplification and Node shaders which returns the total number of waves executing within the thread group.
