ci: cut releases with release-it and a generated changelog

1.0.8 was bumped, tagged, released and published by hand, and CHANGELOG.md
stopped at 1.0.6 under `@config-plugins/react-native-codepush`, a name this
package has never been published under.

release-it now derives all of it from the conventional commits since the last
tag: the version bump, the CHANGELOG section, the annotated tag message and the
GitHub release body. A `!` or a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer bumps the major and
shows up under the same `⚠ BREAKING CHANGES` heading in all three.

The trigger is `workflow_dispatch` with an optional increment override, not a
push to master. conventional-commits treats any commit as at least a patch, so
pushing a README fix would otherwise ship a version.

Backfilled 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 from git history and reshaped the older entries into
the layout release-it writes, so the file reads as one thing.
