fix: changelog generation formatting RE-3152

[erikburt]

Changes

• Switch from @changesets/changelog-github to a local file which doesn't include users in the changelog generation
  • This applies to both the root .changesets, and the contracts/.changesets configs
• Updated package.jsons to remove the unused dependency, and explicitly declare the pre-existing transitive dependency which is now referenced in the changelog generation code

Testing

Tested locally, new format of changelog is like:

# Changelog Chainlink Core

## 2.19.0

### Minor Changes

- [#14898](https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink/pull/14898) [`a417740`](https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink/commit/a41774035961ce88be2fed7c6759758a7f00881d) - Bump to start the next version

Since this is for NOPs and the names can be unprofessional and it adds unwanted noise, we’d like to remove the thanks @ghusername in the changesets generated changelogs.

RE-3152

Would it be possible to give an example of the changelog generation before and after this change?

Also, stupid question - could one just use '@changesets/changelog-github' and then do some filtering to remove usernames? (or is this as hard as forking the changelog)

i don't think you can config it and what's @erikburt created the custom formatter.
https://github.com/changesets/changesets/blob/7323704dff6e76f488370db384579b86c95c866f/packages/changelog-github/src/index.ts#L116

and the example he gave in the description is the after and you can see the current changelog to see how currently is.

Thanks, and what is the purpose of hiding the usernames - is this some privacy issue?

[momentmaker]

don't think so but more so a request from the core team - probably because of annoyance of getting tagged

Ok, @erikburt could you please update the description with the motivation for this change. Thanks!
