Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.

When a user hits an issue like this:

#4012

or this

https://discourse.haskell.org/t/resolved-missing-hls-features-in-emacs/8660/2

.. it can annoying for the user and a waste of time for the maintainers

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a 2 bullet point section between the list of binaries and the change log with links to supported plugins and GHC versions in the docs in future releases.

GHC Versions and Plugin Support

We do now have versioned readthedocs documentation, so you can find the set of supported plugins etc. relatively easily. I also have plans to make haskell-language-server --list-plugins tell you as well. I'm unsure that it's useful to add it in more places?

To be clear, I'm just asking for links back to that section in readthedocs (which if the release corresponds to a stable supported release would not change). As far as being useful -> Yes. If they were there I would have checked those links before logging a defect and tomjaguarpaw would, in all likelihood, not have posted to Discourse. Added bonus, you'd be driving traffic to the docs from the release page.

I also have plans to make haskell-language-server --list-plugins tell you as well.

Definitely a useful feature, esp if run as part of startup but "Por qué no los dos?"

If when the concept of features is adopted a listing of (un)supported features would be even better.

At a glance I want to know if I install this version of HLS/GHC what features will and wont be supported
