Use commit body to generate additional changelog entries

[kiranmarshall]

Describe the feature

Often when submitting a PR there will be a few things I have done which can be added to the changelog, but since I use squash and merge anything that is not the head of the commit message is not picked up by changelogen.

It would be great to be able to read the commit body, ie:

feat: add ability to read commit body

• test: update tests
• docs: include new commit body changes

Where the bullets are picked up and added to the changelog. It could be nice to add an option to have these as bullets under the main commit so it is easy to track.

I'm more than happy to contribute but might need a little help with getting going.
