fix(ci): improve prerelease changelog #4082

Problem:
The prerelease changelog might include items from the previous release,
or omit some items if the current changelog is very long.

Solution:
Use `perl` instead of `head` to get only the first section.

before:

    ## 1.99.0 2023-11-17

    - ...
    - ...

    ## 1.98.0 2023-11-09

    - ...

after:

    ## 1.99.0 2023-11-17

    - ...
    - ...
