Fix code-review findings (changelog rendering, release skill, sidebar)

- changelog: fix 3 silent RST mis-renders carried over from the old monolith
  — Markdown link in 0.7.0, mismatched/single backticks in 0.18.0 / 0.20.0
- make-release skill contributors one-liner: parallelize the gh fetch, anchor
  the bot filter (was a substring that dropped handles like "abbott"), and join
  with ", " (paste -sd cycles the delimiter -> "@a,@b @c"); finalize now stages
  only the reviewed set (git add -A -- ':!.idea'); drop the obsolete CRLF gotcha
- make_release.py: emit LF not CRLF in the repository.yml insertion (fixes the
  gotcha at the source)
- docs sidebar: drop the hardcoded furo component list; override brand.html to
  include furo's own template + the sponsor button (decoupled from furo
  internals, no upper-bound pin needed); move sponsor styles into custom.css
- .pre-commit-config.yaml: drop stale end-of-file-fixer excludes for the
  deleted contributors/CoC include shims

 Gotchas:
 - `gen_doc` imports `pandas` + `tabulate` at line 3 and crashes before writing if they're missing (not in `docs/requirements.txt`) → `pip install pandas tabulate`. See the **build-doc** skill.
-- The `repository.yml` regex inserts a literal `\r\n`, leaving one CRLF line → `sed -i 's/\r$//' repository.yml`.
 - `boards.rst` is written with no trailing newline → pre-commit's `end-of-file-fixer` adds it; run pre-commit on the regenerated files (step 3).
