Description

Windows 10 has had a bunch of major updates. It would be good to expose the build information in about:support

The version currently comes from Services.sysinfo.getProperty("version") here https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/modules/Troubleshoot.jsm#183

SysInfo is intialized here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/b3fd653bc6078b3be4a8d06db39eddc5714755da/xpcom/base/nsSystemInfo.cpp#489

We call PR_GetSystemInfo(PR_SI_RELEASE, ..) to get the version info which ends up here:

Setting P3 since this seems like something nice to have, but it's blocking a P1 and P2. Can you confirm the priority when you're back, Jeff?

We've been running into issues that are specific to particular windows versions so it's pretty helpful for people to be able to report that easily from about:support. Fixing this isn't needed for those bugs so it technically doesn't need to block them.
