docs(skill): correct the CHANGELOG heading date format (#3020)

SKILL.md's step 7 said to match `## X.Y (DD-MM-YYYY)`. The repo does not use
that: 7705 dated CHANGELOG headings are ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` against 363 in
`DD-MM-YYYY`, and the newest entry is ISO in 125 of 135 add-ons. Following the
instruction cost a Copilot review round on #3019.

`DD-MM-YYYY` is not invented, which is presumably how it got written down. It
is what `onpush_builder.yaml` inserts with `date '+%d-%m-%Y'` when a push
arrives with no heading for the config.yaml version, and it is the addons_updater
bot's default in `99-run.sh` — but that bot runs here with `date_iso8601: true`
(confirmed against the running add-on's options), which is why almost everything
on master is ISO. Neither is a reason to write `DD-MM-YYYY` by hand.

The traps.md entry also records that the builder's duplicate check is
`grep -q "^## ${version} ("` — keyed on the exact config.yaml version and blind
to the date — so an ISO heading you wrote yourself still suppresses the bot's
insertion.

**The repo's `.markdownlint.yaml` does not disable MD022/MD032**, so a CHANGELOG will show
dozens of pre-existing heading/list findings. They are noise because lint is `continue-on-error`,
not because the config exempts them — don't cite the config as a reason to ignore a finding.
