Adds the new InformationDisabled feedback Group Policy to the Configure feedback Group Policies article.

This machine policy lets administrators disable informational announcements shown via info bars. It's read from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Feedback\InformationDisabled and applies to Visual Studio 2026 and later. The matching ADMX/ADML entry is added in microsoft/Visual-Studio-Administrative-Templates#186.

I am not sure if these changes were actually implemented. @cdblake1 did you implement these for TN system? If so the text looks great I think so you can sign off
