Hello,

I would like to suggest to add the clang version in release notes of NDK, it is more convenient than we need to download the ndk and check the version inside the NDK.
Example: The release note of NDK 25, it has the sentence "Updated LLVM to clang-r450784d1, based on LLVM 14 development"

Thanks

The difficulty with that is that an NDK Clang does not exactly correspond to the LLVM Clang with the same version number. It has additional fixes, and may have omissions.

I understand that hard, but at least we know what is the clang that the version base one. My project is switching to C++ 20 and I try to find the proper ndk for it, then I found the 
```
18.0.1
based on r522817
for additional information on LLVM revision and cherry-picks, see clang_source_info.md
```
in the ndk 27, it is better if we put it in release note.
Anyway, Is clang of ndk 27 base on LLVM 18, isn't it?
