Description

Summary

Platform.constants['Release'] returns undefined.

Motivation

As part of our logging strategy, we report on user OS version.
I can see a property 'osVersion' however this returns 15 which I would have expected 10.x.x

Research direction

Start by tracing the Platform.constants and osVersion implementation in the React Native Windows codebase. Check how Windows reports the OS version and add the missing Release value with coverage for the expected version format; done means Platform.constants['Release'] returns the appropriate release value.
