Subject: [PATCH] skip changelog for [chore] prs (#5676)

* skip changelog for [chore] prs

Add a check in the changelog job to skip the job if the title of the PR contains [chore]. This makes it possible for a user who's change doesn't require a changelog entry and doesn't have write access to the repository to skip this check.

For now I've left the check for the "Skip Changelog" label as well, in the future, this should be removed and the label can be removed altogether.

* Update .github/workflows/changelog.yml
