This commit makes the breaking changes section of the v11.0.0 release
info in `CHANGELOG.md` easier to follow by:
1. Adding links to the corresponding commit for each breaking change (to
make it easier to find the full context of the change).
2. Turning breaking changes of each scope into a bulleted list (to make
it clearer that they affect the same package/scope).
NOTE:
It would be better if the changelog generation tooling handled this
automatically. This potential improvement is being tracked in #39698.

Usually, entries in the release notes for a version in `CHANGELOG.md` are
grouped by scope (i.e. all `compiler` changes together, all `router`
changes together, etc.). Currently, the notes for a non-patch release
are created manually, by contatenating the release notes for all
corresponding next/RC versions. As a result, the entries for v11.0.0 are
not grouped together.
This commit fixes it by grouping all entries for the v11.0.0 release by
scope, making it easier to identify all changes that affect a specific
package/scope.

It seems that the script used to generate the `CHANGELOG.md` content
incorrectly treats any link or issue/PR reference in the commit message
as a link to an issue fixed/closed by the commit. However, there are
cases where such links/references do not refer to issues fixed/closed by
the commit (or not refer to issues at all).
This commit fixes such bogus links in the v11.0.0 release info.
NOTE:
The underlying issue should be more generically addressed in the
changelog generation tooling. This is being tracked in #39698.

Currently, the script that is used to generate the `CHANGELOG.md`
content uses the first 7 characters of a commit SHA in the generated
links. This is problematic when there are multiple commits in the repo
(or forks of the repo?) that start with the same 7 characters (which is
rare but possible), since GitHub shows a 404 page.
This was the case with commit 736e0644b0
that is included in the v11.0.0 release notes and happens to start with
the same characters as commit 736e064ac80f5e0ed84711694c2ba68809222ffd.
This commit fixes the issue by using the full commit SHA in the link for
this particular commit.

The underlying issue should be more generically addressed in the
changelog generation tooling. This is being tracked in #39698.

Commit 4ca1c736bb (part of PR #38931) was
incorrectly marked with scope `packaging`, while it is an internal-only
change (i.e. it does not affect packaging). As such is should have been
marked with a different scope (for example, `ci`/`build`/`refactoring`)
and should not appear in `CHANGELOG.md`.
This commit removes the entry from `CHANGELOG.md` to avoid confusing
developers trying to understand how this change may affect their apps.
NOTE:
The commit contains a breaking change notice (about dropping support for
IE<11) which _is_ relevant to app developers. This breaking change
notice is preserved in the "BREAKING CHANGES" section, but the scope is
changes from `packaging` to `core` to avoid confusion.

This commit includes several minor fixes in the v11.0.0 release info in
`CHANGELOG.md`, such as:
- Fixing typos/punctuation.
- Making capitalization consistent.
- Wrapping code in backticks (for better readability).
