Introduce new PKGBUILD variable `changelog`

Currently, a changelog is added to a package if a specific file with a
hardcoded name exists in the PKGBUILD's directory. This approach is not
pretty and also inconsistent with the handling of install files, but it
works.

With the introduction of split PKGBUILDs, however, a drawback in this
old behavior has arisen: you only have the possibility to include one
specific changelog file in either every package defined in the PKGBUILD
or in none.

The use of an additional variable, `changelog`, works around this issue
and makes it possible to include a changelog in only some of the
packages, and besides, each package of the PKGBUILD can have its own
changelog file.
