feat: use reference-style links in changelog instead of inline links

Browse Source 
Moves changelog link generation from inline heading format
  ## [1.1.0](https://...) - date
to reference-style definitions at the bottom of the file
  ## [1.1.0] - date
  ...
  [Unreleased]: https://.../src/branch/main
  [1.1.0]: https://.../releases/tag/v1.1.0

This keeps headings plain, which simplifies changelog parsing (the
awk pattern in publish/action.yml now matches without special-casing
the inline URL), and follows the canonical Keep a Changelog style.
