Title: New changelog parser

This is a new changelog parser written from scratch. It makes a reasonable attempt to parse common changelog formats, but it doesn't have any way for parsing so it still can't fall back to plain text (ref #941, #948). It allows unlimited nesting, and preserves order (ref #920, #1319).

It doesn't use CPAN::Changes (aside from stealing a couple of its regexes) because the API it presents it very poor and can't handle the structure I'm generating.

It handles the cases mentioned in many existing tickets:
