Add initial CHANGELOG.md, preparing 10.0.3 beta

[PVince81]

Unreleased entries based on v10.0.2..f0b8346: git log --merges v10.0.2..stable10 --format="format:%s - %b" | grep "pull request" | cut -d" " -f4,8-

Some open issues:

• should we continue adding the major/minor labels ?
• removed test-related entries (unit test, integration test, etc), hope this is ok
• seems there are still too many entries, I had the feeling that the purpose of the changelog is more to be user friendly, not developer friendly (to be discussed)

I haven't decided yet whether to use any tooling for changelogs, for now I'll continue to compile them manually.

• TODO: convert hash links to real links. I thought Github would do that automatically

Agree - test infrastructure and devops-related changes are not of interest here, for viewing by end-user sysadmins that want to know what "real" features and fixes are in a release.

Also regressions that happened in master and were fixed in master before release - those commits are not needed a changelog because the bug never happened to any end-user.

• update with new merges (can also be done separately, but before tagging)

[PVince81]

To avoid having to copy-paste regexps, I put it all into a script: f003f111f045e3e836ab8479c97ad5099ca33d07

The entries in question still need to be reworded and split into the "added/changed/deleted" but at least a lot of the repetitive work is not needed here.

• update with new merges, one last time (expecting migrate oc8 mount.json external storages to the database #28662)

@pmaier1 @stkjj you guys happy with the changelog format ? do we still want/need the "major/minor" prefix ?

[PVince81]

Update changelog and increated version to 10.0.3 beta.

[PVince81]

PR to forward port the changelog script only to master: #28682

[pmaier1]

Yay, this looks perfect and is really really helpful! 👍 👍

should we continue adding the major/minor labels ?

For me this would help as it's kind of a preselection from an engineering POV. Therefore I would of course prefer adding such labels. In the end I would leave it up to you to decide on effort/benefit ratio.
