Subject: [PATCH] ci: add default configuration for git-cliff

Introduce a default configuration file for git-cliff to manage
changelog generation. This file includes customizable templates
for the changelog header, body, and footer, and enables parsing
of commit messages according to the conventional commits
specification. The changes facilitate easier and standardized
documentation of project updates and changes.
