0.18.0 release

- Python 3.11 support
- Last release to support Python 3.6
- Behavior Change: In a future release, gitlint will be switching to use
  `re.search` instead of `re.match` semantics for all rules. (#254)
- gitlint no longer uses the `sh` library by default in an attempt to reduce
  external dependencies.
- `--commits` now also accepts a comma-separated list of commit hashes,
  making it possible to lint a list of non-contiguous commits without invoking
  gitlint multiple times (#283)
- Improved handling of branches that have no commits (#188)
- Support for `GITLINT_CONFIG` env variable (#189)
- Added a new `gitlint-ci` pre-commit hook, making it easier to run gitlint
  through pre-commit in CI (#191)
- Contrib Rules:
  - New `contrib-disallow-cleanup-commits` rule (#312)
  - New `contrib-allowed-authors` rule (#358)
- User Defined rules:
  - Gitlint now recognizes `fixup=amend` commits, available as
    `commit.is_fixup_amend_commit=True`
  - Gitlint now parses diff **stat** information, available in
    `commit.changed_files_stats` (#314)
- Bugfixes:
  - Use correct encoding when using `--msg-filename` parameter (#310)
  - Various documentation fixes (#244) (#263) (#266) (#294) (#295) (#347) (#364)
- Under-the-hood:
  - Dependencies updated
  - Moved to blacked for formatting
  - Fixed nasty CI issue (#298)
  - Unit tests fix (#256)
  - Vagrant box removed in favor of github dev containers (#348)
  - Removed a few lingering references to the `master` branch in favor of `main`
  - Moved roadmap and project planning to github projects
