[Tooling] CHANGELOG and Version Bump PreCommit Hook

[derrandz]

Description

The v1 codebase is required to document all important changes in a CHANGELOG.md at the root of the repository and module specific CHANGELOG.md if the changes impacted the module in-question. In addition to that, the version should be bumped accordingly.

This issue is a perfect starter task for community contributions.

@derrandz Could you link to some examples of where the changelogs are right now for those who are new to the code base?

For anyone who comes by this issue, I recently found this diff that removed this feature (which we actually want here): https://github.com/celestiaorg/smt/pull/68/files

GitOps is an alternative tool we can use in addition / instead of a PreCommit hook.

Disclaimer: I did not do in-depth research into this.
