[Optimization] DXC is missing common factor optimization in some cases in #6593
[SPIR-V] Implement WaveMutliPrefix* in #6600

Release notes once found in README.md can now be found as ReleaseNotes.md.
Fixed several bugs in the loop restructurizer. Shader developers who are using -opt-disable structurize-loop-exits-for-unroll to disable the loop restructurizer should consider removing that workaround.
Clang-built Windows binaries are included in addition to the MSVC-built binaries that have always been shipped before. The clang-built compiler is expected to improve HLSL compile times in many cases. We are eager for feedback about this build positive or negative, related to compile times or correctness.
This DX compiler release is also available as a NuGet package Microsoft.Direct3D.DXC
