Release Note Generation Skill

Generate professional PowerToys release notes by collecting merged PRs, summarizing each PR with the local CLI agent, grouping by label, and producing user-facing summaries. Stable and preview releases share the same PR metadata, attribution, grouping, and formatting rules.
