This commit introduces a new xtask changelog command to cargo xtask, to help produce automated changelogs which can be the basis for updating CHANGELOG.md. This new command does not overwrite CHANGELOG.md, but instead writes its auto-generated changelog to CHANGELOG-NEXT.md, which is also marked in .gitignore so it doesn't get checked in. The goal here is that this automation will help write changelogs for each new version, but doesn't turn the changelog into a fully-automated system, as we still want to be able to have human-written release notes.
