Additional configuration options

[MysterAitch]

I have been working on quite a few configuration options to tweak the output so that it matches our current changelog format.

The fork is available at: https://github.com/MysterAitch/github-changelog-generator
Here's a diff: master...MysterAitch:master

Some notable bits:

• Configurable bullet styles (we use * rather than -)
• Ability to exclude issues from the changelog (we include PRs and issues in the milestone, but only PRs in the changelog)
• Option to label whether the changelog entry is an issue or a pull request
• Option to include an "everything else" section (i.e., issues/prs within the milestone that aren't included elsewhere within the changelog)

Is there any appetite for any of this to be shared back? 👍

Rather than list it all though, here is the configuration I am currently using with this forked version and an exported jar.

The defaults for each of these are configured with backwards-compatible defaults, and they should probably be tidied up / nested within an outputFormat or similar option. I only realised this after doing it though haha.

These changes look really interesting, would you be willing to submit pull-requests for them? Ideally we'd take them one at a time rather than in a big lump.
