This PR is to create the changelog & upgrade guide for 2.516.1. Included in this are new screenshots for the upgrade guide to help illustrate the updated header design accompanying the release. This includes all entries from the first backporting ticket, but not the second ticket yet, as the change is already included in the "Changes since" section (in a different sense).

Changelog:

backports-major-entries enhancements bugs

Upgrade guide:

upgrade-guide-new-header new-header-password upgrade-guide-entries

The entry that would include the second backport may be updated/added once it is verified to be needed.

The updated header now includes the *Manage Jenkins* link, which was previously located in the left navigation pane, as well as dropdown menus for additional actions and user management options.
Plugins such as plugin:support-core[Support Core] and plugin:design-library[Design Library] will now be added to the *More Actions* menu, providing a centralized location for plugin-specific actions.

Thanks so much for the explanation! I took a stab at maybe clarifying things -- see what you think. This is the sort of thing that is really hard to explain in prose but I am sure will be clarified immensely in Darin and Jan's video, which people really should watch!
