docs: seed CHANGELOG.md (Keep-a-Changelog format) (#30)

Closes Row-2 Phase 3 of the 2026-05-26 estate tech-debt audit chain
for this repo. The 2026-05-26 documentation-debt audit
(hyperpolymath/standards#197) flagged that 180 of 279 estate repos
lacked a CHANGELOG.md (65% gap) — this seed closes that finding here.

The seed:
  - Uses Keep-a-Changelog format with an [Unreleased] section.
  - Buckets the most recent 100 commits by conventional-commit prefix
    (feat/fix/refactor/docs/ci/build) into Added/Fixed/Changed/
    Documentation/CI sections.
  - References standards#206's changelog-reusable.yml + the canonical
    templates/cliff.toml for full-regeneration via git-cliff.

The file is initial — the maintainer can adopt changelog-reusable.yml
in this repo's CI to keep it auto-regenerated, or regenerate manually.

+# Changelog

+All notable changes to `verisimdb-data` will be documented in this file.

+This file is generated from conventional commits by the

+[`templates/cliff.toml`](https://github.com/hyperpolymath/standards/blob/main/templates/cliff.toml)
+for the canonical config.
+
+The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/);

+## Pre-history
+
+Prior commits to this file's introduction are recorded in git history but not formally classified into Keep-a-Changelog sections. To backfill, run `git cliff -o CHANGELOG.md` locally using the canonical [`cliff.toml`](https://github.com/hyperpolymath/standards/blob/main/templates/cliff.toml) — this is one-shot mechanical work.
