Subject: [PATCH] chore(release): Automate changelog generation for
 pre-releases

This commit introduces a new step in the release workflow to automatically generate a changelog file for pre-releases (closed and open testing tracks).

The changelog file will contain a link to the GitHub release notes for detailed information.
Additionally, the GitHub release is no longer created as a draft.

(cherry picked from commit 71e7c6b7e92e74d9c0a6bac7667a6ee9a651d965)
