Show base commit in PRs (and not just the base branch)

PRs show the base branch, but they don’t tell how long ago the current branch was updated. Example:

master         A-B-C-D-E  
                    \     
feature-branch       C-Q-Z    

In this case, this feature would tell us that C is the real base

I’ve wanted to know this in the past, but at the moment I’m only thinking of why we shouldn’t implement this: 😅

• Our update-pr-from-base-branch feature already tells us whether it’s up to date and it allows us to update it

Discussion welcome. Would this info be useful? When?

OK we need to merge #6103 first and then I can work on it

Love it. I didn’t know where to display it, but that makes sense. We can figure out the exact design later
