feat(version): option to add commit login username on each changelog entry, closes #248

[ghiscoding]

Description

Add new lerna version --changelog-include-commits-client-login [msg] option that will add commit remote client login username to each changelog commit line entry. This option will fetch all commits from the client remote server (only GitHub for now) and from that list it will find associated user login with commit changelog entry and will add them at the end of each changelog entry (when found), it uses the GitHub Graphql API to fetch all recent commits (since last release) from GitHub with only the fields we're interested in.

Motivation and Context

closes #248, which is to add user login on each changelog commit line and that will indirectly create a Contributors list when creating a new GitHub Release

Example with default format

**deps:** update dependency git-url-parse to v12 ([978bf36](https://github.com/.../978bf36)) (@renovate-bot)

or a custom format (use any of %a and/or %l)

lerna version --changelog-include-commits-client-login " by @%l, %a"

# result
**deps:** update dependency git-url-parse to v12 ([978bf36](https://github.com/.../978bf36)) by @renovate-bot, Whitesource Renovate

How Has This Been Tested?

added necessary unit tests and tested in git-dry-run mode to see changelog being updated as intended

Hello @MiguelSOliveira
I saw you commenting on Lerna project and didn't want to comment directly in Lerna, because I spent quite a lot of time to get it working in Lerna-Lite, but basically the feature you are asking about in Lerna (which is to have commit contributors in github releases) is available in Lerna-Lite (this repo) through the above PR. The way it works is that unfortunately GitHub username aren't available directly in git, however what we can do is to query the GitHub GraphQL API for all the commits since the last the last release and then loop through all the commits and add associated username through git hash mapping, this mapping is executed when the changelogs get updated (which is also used by the github release)

Lerna-Lite is a smaller/lighter version of Lerna, you can read more about it on its readme page

The full documentation on how to use it is available in the version --changelog-include-commits-client-login docs and below are 2 print screen sample of this feature used in Lerna-Lite project and another project of mine

last release of Lerna-Lite with contributors
