Reformat the changelog for 0.2.5.4-alpha. No textual changes.
Also, add a script to do this, since doing it manually with fmt sucks.

o Major features (seccomp2 sandbox):
- Refinements and improvements to the Linux seccomp2 sandbox code:
the sandbox can now run a test network for multiple hours without
- crashing. (Previous crash reasons included: reseeding the OpenSSL PRNG,
- seeding the Libevent PRNG, using the wrong combination of CLOEXEC and
