Conventional Recommended Workflow

Automatic CHANGELOG.md generation, using GitHub's new squash button and the workflow outlined in conventional-changelog-cli.

how it works:

1. when you land commits on your master branch, select the Squash and Merge option.
2. add a title and body that follows the conventional-changelog conventions.
3. when you're ready to release to npm:
4. checkout master.
5. run conventional-recommended-workflow.
6. git push --tags; git push origin master; npm publish.

conventional-recommended-workflow does the following:

1. bumps the version in package.json
2. runs conventional-changelog and updates CHANGELOG.md.
3. commits package.json and CHANGELOG.md.
4. tags a new release.
