Pull Request Overview
This PR introduces validateChangelogs.py, a validation tool that helps release managers ensure changelog folder structure consistency across the four active Solr development branches (main, stable, release, and previous major branches). The tool validates that versioned changelog folders are identical across branches, prevents released files from appearing in unreleased folders, analyzes feature distribution, and optionally checks for duplicate JIRA issues. Additionally, it can generate a consolidated CHANGELOG.md preview similar to the legacy CHANGES.txt format.
