Description

Hello and thank you for your very useful plugin to Mattermost!

I have a feature request of adding the content, i.e. the release notes, to the release notifications.

At the moment, the notification looks like:

```
[github-user/repo] @contributer created a release 1.0.0
```
The release tag is a link, but does not show any pop-up upon hover.

It would be great if there was an option to have also the release notes shown, similar to when Issues and PRs are opened, the whole thing is shown.

Thank you very much!
Best regards,

Josch

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

Research direction

Start by locating the code that handles GitHub release notifications and inspect the release data available there. Compare the current release message with the issue's example and the existing issue and pull-request notifications. Done means release notes can be included in release notifications as an option, with the existing tag link behavior preserved.
