Add v1.43 and v1.44 to changelog

[qdequele]

Summary

Fixes #3581.

Adds two new Meilisearch release entries to the changelog, generated via npm run generate-changelog.

• v1.44 (2026-05-18): Remote federated facet search, human-formatted database sizes with internalDatabaseSizes stats, reduced indexing memory usage, faster GeoJSON indexing. Breaking changes: remote federated facet search is now the default when sharding is enabled, and embedder timeout is now tied to searchCutOffMs.
• v1.43 (2026-05-04): New settings indexer supporting filterable, sortable, facet search, and custom attributes; faster facet search indexing; GET /health returns 500 after task queue compaction to signal restart; lexicographic string filter normalization fix; typo tolerance regression fix. Includes note about the v1.43.1 authenticated SSRF security fix.

Test plan

• Preview deploy renders both <Update> blocks correctly
• Code samples and JSON examples render without syntax issues
• GitHub release links resolve (v1.44.0, v1.43.0)
