Jetpack changelog script - commit new changelog right away

What

Commit new changelog entry created with jetpack changelog right away

How

Let's assume folks are in the right branch, ready to continue by committing the changelog they just created.

Now we commit changelogs manually:

$ jetpack changelog add
...
Command 'add' for plugins/jetpack completed succesfully!

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Changelog"

I'd expect the script to do it for me to save few commands:

$ jetpack changelog add
...
Changelog for plugins/jetpack added, and commited to the current branch.

If you need an escape hatch, just:

 jetpack changelog add --no-commit

Personally I'd rather not have it automatically doing git commit -m. Often enough I have other changes already waiting that need a different commit message, or I want to --amend the changelog update to them before the initial push to GH.

I meant to include only the changelog file, and leave the rest for the dev to commit.

You'd also want to check you're not in trunk branch, or if there are already changes staged for commit, before doing anything.

Oh and could also just be --commit opt-in instead of opt-out. :-)
