Checklist

If this is a user-facing code change, like a bugfix or a new feature, please ensure that you've fulfilled the following conditions (where applicable):

[n/a] You've added tests (in tests/) added which would fail without your patch
[x] You've updated the documentation (in docs/, in case of behavior changes or new features)
[x] You've added a new changelog entry (in docs/versionhistory.rst).

If this is a trivial change, like a typo fix or a code reformatting, then you can ignore these instructions.

Updating the changelog

If there are no entries after the last release, use **UNRELEASED** as the version. If, say, your patch fixes issue #999, the entry should look like this:

* Fix big bad boo-boo in the encoder (#999 <https://github.com/agronholm/cbor2/issues/999>_; PR by @yourgithubaccount)

If there's no issue linked, just link to your pull request instead by updating the changelog after you've created the PR.
