Move changelog config to .github, switch to gem

The latest version of the github_changelog_generator gem properly supports passing the config file path, but the GH action we were using was quite behind the latest. So just switch to running the gem directly, using parameter expansion to retrieve the owner/project as explained in https://www.cazzulino.com/github-actions-repository.html
