fix(release): credit release-PR contributors via Co-authored-by trailers - #292

Conversation
generate-comprehensive-changelog only emitted @mention lines in a <details> Contributors block, which gives no GitHub contributor-graph credit — only Co-authored-by trailers do (that credit was lost after v3.14.0 for slothlet's releases). It now also emits a `co-authors` output: a `<!-- co-authors -->`- marked block of `Co-authored-by: Name <email>` trailers for the release-range human contributors (deduped by email; bots and the caller's signing bot excluded; includes contributors carried in commit-body trailers). update-pr-changelog appends that block as the FINAL paragraph of the release-PR body, below the sticky (coverage) blocks — GitHub only credits co-author trailers that sit in the commit message's last paragraph. update-pr-coverage's first-add path now inserts its badge ABOVE the `<!-- co-authors -->` marker so the trailers stay last, and update-release-pr threads the new output through. Net: when the release PR squash-merges to master, the release commit carries Co-authored-by trailers and GitHub credits every contributor. Verified via the action test suite (dedup, bot-exclusion, body-trailer extraction, trailers-last placement) and a full release-PR-lifecycle body-composition simulation.
