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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing stash actions in the Stashes list and replicate them in the Changes view, adding context menu items and icons as needed.
