Azure DevOps July 2023 updates

In July, we've delivered multiple improvements across Azure DevOps services. You can now dismiss dependency scanning alerts in Advanced Security that you believe to be a false positive or acceptable risk. In Azure Repos, we changed the default behavior to remove "Edit policies" permission when creating a new branch.
