[ENHANCEMENT] Remove unsolicited announcement and upsell surfaces

[allquixotic]

Related GitHub Issue

Closes: #134

Description

This PR removes several unsolicited announcement and upsell surfaces from the extension UI while preserving unrelated consent and safety surfaces.

Key changes:

• Removes the chat Announcement component and its tests.
• Removes announcement auto-show state and extension messages, including latestAnnouncementId, lastShownAnnouncementId, shouldShowAnnouncement, and didShowAnnouncement.
• Changes VersionIndicator from a clickable release-notes/announcement trigger into a passive version label.
• Removes DismissibleUpsell, its tests, dismissedUpsells global state, and the dismissUpsell/getDismissedUpsells webview message paths.
• Removes announcement localization blocks across locales and updates the version indicator aria label.
• Updates affected chat/app/context/settings tests after removing the announcement/upsell props and state.

Reviewer focus:

• Whether Zoo wants full removal, an opt-out setting, or relocation to a user-initiated changelog/news surface.
• Confirming no required consent, safety, or account-critical notice was removed.
• Confirming localization cleanup is acceptable.
• Confirming telemetry consent remains untouched.

Test Procedure

From the Zoo Code worktree:

pnpm lint
pnpm check-types
pnpm --filter zoo-code test -- core/webview/__tests__/ClineProvider.spec.ts
pnpm --filter @roo-code/vscode-webview test -- src/__tests__/App.spec.tsx src/components/chat/__tests__/ChatView.spec.tsx src/components/settings/__tests__/SettingsView.spec.tsx src/context/__tests__/ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx

Manual verification recommended:

• Launch the extension webview.
• Confirm no announcement modal/banner appears in chat.
• Confirm the version indicator no longer opens release notes/news as a click target.
• Confirm removed upsell state is not expected by settings or extension state hydration.
• Confirm telemetry/consent surfaces still behave normally.

Additional Notes

This PR is likely to need product-maintainer agreement because it removes product communication surfaces. If maintainers prefer a preference flag, this branch can be adapted into "disable unsolicited announcements by default" or "add quiet mode" instead of hard removal.

We can remove the upsell component since it's not used, but the logic related to announcement is still useful to bump on release.

This param is still read for the announcement component.
