Switch cabal-install changelog to Markdown

[PraneyaKumar]

This PR switches plain-text changelog file to ChangeLog.md

Fix #10831

• Patches conform to the coding conventions.
• Is this a PR that fixes CI? If so, it will need to be backported to older cabal release branches (ask maintainers for directions).

Thanks for the contribution

Merge branch 'master' into doc/10831-switch-changelog-to-mdfile

↑ you might prefer “rebase” to “merge” (keeps commit history cleaner)

Awesome, thanks!

@PraneyaKumar if you don’t already know about the squash+merge label (placed @ulysses4ever this time), read along.

That means the PR will be in a ready and waiting state for 48 hours and then all commits will be squashed into one and then merged.

Not doing things manually allows us some more time for people to comment/check the PR.

Also need to modify cabal-install.cabal and the filename should be ChangeLog.md so it is consistent with the other changelogs.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll rebase instead of merging to keep the commit history clean. Let me know if there are any other best practices I should follow.

Got it, thanks for the explanation! I’ll keep that in mind for future PRs. Let me know if there's anything else I should adjust before the merge.

Thanks for pointing that out! I have done the necessary changes.

@PraneyaKumar thanks a lot for you work here!

The file name is still incorrect: it should be ChangeLog.md but right now what you have is changeLog.md (the first letter C isn't capitalized).
