Fixes#1471. The default changelog templates omit a breaking-change description or release notice when it belongs to a commit that is not the first commit in its category.
Rationale
The existing dotted attribute path 1.0 selects only index 0 from each category. The templates now flatten every category's commit list before filtering for breaking_descriptions and release_notices.
How did you test?
Added a regression fixture where a newer ordinary commit precedes both a breaking commit and a release-notice commit in their respective categories.
Verified the default Markdown and reStructuredText changelogs both include the omitted sections and descriptions.
Ran pytest tests/unit/semantic_release/changelog/test_default_changelog.py -q: 34 passed.
Ran Ruff format and lint checks on the changed tests.
Ran pytest tests/unit/semantic_release/changelog -m unit -q: 139 passed, 15 skipped; 7 pre-existing Windows newline expectation failures remain in test_release_notes.py, outside this change's code path.
How to Verify
Run pytest tests/unit/semantic_release/changelog/test_default_changelog.py -k nonleading -vv.
Confirm both md and rst cases pass.
