chore: custom changesets plugin

[castastrophe]

Description

This PR implements a custom changesets changelog plugin for GitHub that improves the changelog generation process. The changes include:

• Custom changelog plugin: Created @spectrum-tools/changesets-changelog-github plugin to replace the standard @changesets/changelog-github
• Enhanced formatting: Added emoji prefix (📝) and improved spacing in changelog entries
• Better commit handling: Simplified commit link generation and improved test coverage
• Dependency updates: Updated dotenv from ^16.4.7 to ^16.5.0
• CI integration: Added distinct GitHub token environment variable for plugin's access to user's GitHub username and reading pull request titles.

The plugin provides better control over changelog formatting and ensures consistent output across releases.
