Adds a "Compile the complete fixed-issues line" step to the /release skill, between reordering STABLE entries and stamping the version. Its purpose is for consumers of pgxntool: a single, complete, convenient list of every issue actually fixed in a release, independent of which changes were important enough to get their own narrated STABLE entry.

Compiling that list requires unioning each merged PR's own closingIssuesReferences with a direct re-read of the PR body for Fixes/Closes/Resolves mentions -- and doing that surfaced a real, separate problem: GitHub only auto-closes the first issue in a single comma-separated line like Fixes #7, #14, #19, silently dropping the rest with no error. 2.2.0 shipped with issues #14, #19, #50, and #53 all genuinely fixed by one PR (Postgres-Extensions/pgxntool#61) whose body read Fixes #7, #14, #19, #28, #50, #53 -- only #7 auto-closed, and the other four sat open until a manual post-release audit caught it. The release skill's new step now also closes any such issue immediately rather than deferring it.

Since that gotcha isn't specific to releases, this also documents it everywhere a commit or PR might reference an issue: commit-message-format.md (commit messages) and pr.md (PR bodies) both now say to give each issue its own Fixes #N line, never a comma-separated list.

Doc-only change, no behavior/test implications.

Add a "Compile the complete fixed-issues line" step to the /release skill,
between reordering STABLE entries and stamping the version. Its purpose is
for consumers of pgxntool: a single, complete, convenient list of every
issue actually fixed in a release, independent of which changes were
important enough to get their own narrated STABLE entry.

Compiling that list requires unioning each merged PR's own
`closingIssuesReferences` with a direct re-read of the PR body for
`Fixes`/`Closes`/`Resolves` mentions -- and doing that surfaced a real,
separate problem: GitHub only auto-closes the first issue in a single
comma-separated line like `Fixes Postgres-Extensions#7, Postgres-Extensions#14, Postgres-Extensions#19`, silently dropping the rest
with no error. 2.2.0 shipped with issues Postgres-Extensions#14, Postgres-Extensions#19, Postgres-Extensions#50, and Postgres-Extensions#53 all
genuinely fixed by one PR whose body read `Fixes Postgres-Extensions#7, Postgres-Extensions#14, Postgres-Extensions#19, Postgres-Extensions#28, Postgres-Extensions#50,
Postgres-Extensions#53` -- only Postgres-Extensions#7 auto-closed, and the other four sat open until a manual
post-release audit caught it. The release skill's new step now also closes
any such issue immediately rather than deferring it.

Since that gotcha isn't specific to releases, document it everywhere a
commit or PR might reference an issue: `commit-message-format.md` (commit
messages) and `pr.md` (PR bodies) both now say to give each issue its own
`Fixes #N` line, never a comma-separated list.
