infra: changelog generation

[xDivisionByZerox]

This PR introduces configuration for our CHANGELOG file according to the standard-version package.

You can see what commands would be run, without committing to git or updating files by using the dry run mode:

1. switch up project locally (if you haven't already)
2. switch to this branch
3. run npm run release -- --dry-run

I will provide a sample below.

Fixes #1244

That looks somewhat interesting 😲

But should we put "effort" into configuring it when we actually want to move away from that dependency?

• Setup release-it + changelog plugin #1096

Please be sure that the title of that linked issue is not really up to date anymore, as I'm not sure if we really want to use changesets or an alternative like described in the issue itself

But I'm heavily and in conflict with myself what would be best for the project in the long run as I didn't have build up enough knowledge yet

This didn't took too long to research. So "putting effort" into it would only be if we accept my suggestion.

Currently, this PR fixes our problem with locale changes not showing up. This should have priority.
So if we change our release package, it should also be able to be customizable as well.

Yes, but on the other side we documented and changed the way how we name PR titles and so this fixed the problems with locales as well + it provided us a really helpful convention/structure of PR titles
So there is not so much randomness in the titles anymore
But this PR is not only good for showing up locales, but actually separating them from the features-segment, and that could be a good thing 🤔

We wait with merging till v8, to start with a "fresh" new changelog style.
