fix: fail release when changelog target stays stale

[chubes4]

Summary

• abort release before version files are modified when a configured changelog target does not actually change
• stop treating stale changelog finalization as a successful release path for configured changelog targets
• add a regression test covering the stale changelog release case from issue release: npm package releases can silently skip changelog updates while still versioning and committing #1035
