fix automatically generated release notes

[KonradHoeffner]

Right now, the release notes include a lot of commit messages from way before the last one.

The problem seems to be that we have old semver tags (0.1.0 to 3.0) mixed with calver tags (22.05 to 24.06 up to now) and this seems to confuse the default semver sorting mechanism even though they should be compatible (24.06 should be bigger than both 3.0 and 1.1.0 with semver sorting).

We need to adapt the configuration settings in .github/workflows/release.yml, see https://github.com/mikepenz/release-changelog-builder-action?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration-specification.

Test release 24.99 notes are still not correct, see https://github.com/snikproject/graph/releases/tag/untagged-47e2771cc54488bac9df.

@Yagnap: Can you take a look if you can fix it? The workflow is https://github.com/snikproject/graph/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml:

name: Release
on:
  push:
    tags: '[2-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]'
jobs:
  create-release:
    name: Create release
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Build Changelog
        id: build-changelog
        uses: mikepenz/release-changelog-builder-action@v4
        with:
          commitMode: true
          configurationJson: |
            {
              "pr_template": "- #{{TITLE}}",
              "template": "#{{UNCATEGORIZED}}",
              "tag_resolver": {
                "method": "semver",
                "filter": {
                  "pattern": "[2-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]"
                }
              }
            }
      - name: Create Release
        id: create-release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
        with:
          body: ${{steps.build-changelog.outputs.changelog}}

For comparison, here is the complete https://github.com/hitontology/ontology/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml from the HITO ontology repo, where it works:

name: Release
on:
  push:
    tags: '[2-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]'
jobs:
  create-release:
    name: Create release
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      upload_url: ${{ steps.create-release.outputs.upload_url }}
    steps:
      - name: Changelog
        id: changelog
        uses: mikepenz/release-changelog-builder-action@v4
        with:
          commitMode: true
          configurationJson: |
            {
              "pr_template": "- #{{TITLE}}",
              "template": "#{{UNCATEGORIZED}}"
            }

      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: sudo apt-get install -y raptor2-utils

      - name: Build
        id: build
        run: |
             scripts/combine | tee $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
             echo 'summary<<EOF' >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
             cat ${GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY} >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
             echo 'EOF' >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

      - name: Create Release
        id: create-release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
        with:
          body: |
                ${{ steps.build.outputs.summary }}
                ${{ steps.changelog.outputs.changelog }}
          files: |
            dist/hito.nt
            dist/hito.ttl
            dist/shacl.ttl

This works when checking out the repository of release-changelog-build but not in our action as the previous tag erroneously gets detected as a named one (not numbered one):

      - name: Build Changelog
        id: build-changelog
        uses: mikepenz/release-changelog-builder-action@v4
        with:
          commitMode: true
          configurationJson: |
            {
              "pr_template": "- #{{TITLE}}",
              "template": "#{{UNCATEGORIZED}}",
              "tag_resolver": {
                "method": "sort",
                "filter": {
                  "pattern": "^(?![2-9][0-9]\\.[0-9][0-9]).*"
                }
              }
            }
