Description

Testing #280326

The new Stashes list provides a rich set of actions to manage stashes. Meanwhile in Changes, stashes are nowhere to be found, neither in context menus or icons.

It should be easier to stash specific changed files or a whole set of changes.

Research direction
Examine the existing stash actions in the Stashes list view at src/vs/workbench/contrib/scm/browser/stashesView.ts to understand how they are implemented. Then explore the Changes view at src/vs/workbench/contrib/scm/browser/changesView.ts to see where new context menu items or icons could be added. Review issue #280326 mentioned in the body for additional context. Look for any existing comments or unlinked PRs that may provide guidance.
