orchestrating continuous delivery pipeline

[epassaro]

Description

• Removed the changelog from the release message. This changelog was different than the one created by the pipeline. It was generated by the Release Task from Azure Pipelines. I removed it to make it more consistent and keep just one changelog.
• Removed the cron trigger from the changelog pipeline. Now this pipeline will be triggered when a new tag is pushed to the repository (through the release pipeline).
• Removed [skip ci] tag from the commit message of the changelog pipeline.
• Removed the cron trigger from the documentation build pipeline. This pipeline will be triggered by the changelog pipeline thanks to removing the commit message described above.

Now the complete delivery cycle can be described in the following way:

1. Update zenodo.json (cron)
2. Release (cron, 20' later)
3. Post release changes, like changelog and other stuff such as updating CFF (triggered by pushing a new tag)
4. Documentation update (by classic push to master trigger).

Motivation and context

This is required before adding the CITATION.cff file to the repository. This file should be updated through the pipeline too, so it's time to fix all the annoyances.

How has this been tested?

• Testing pipeline.
• Other.

We need to wait until next Saturday afternoon and see if this works ok.
