bug#66555: 29.1; ChangeLog font-lock wrong when it comes to sub-part / conditional components

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

ChangeLog mode does the wrong thing when it comes to font-lock when
you have sub-part components or conditionals:

        * file.text (zork) <bar>
        (bork) <bar>: Some change.

        * file.text (zork) [foo]
        (bork) [bar]: Some change.

<foo> nor [foo] is not font-locked properly, the ChangeLog format
specifies the following:

|    Break long lists of function names by closing continued lines with
| ')', rather than ',', and opening the continuation with '('.  This makes
| highlighting in Emacs work better.  Here is an example:
| 
|      * src/keyboard.c (menu_bar_items, tool_bar_items)
|      (Fexecute_extended_command): Deal with 'keymap' property.

Moving the sub-part / conditional to before the function name also
does the wrong thing,

        * file.text <bar> (zork)
        (bork) <bar>: Some change.

        * file.text [foo] (zork)
        (bork) [bar]: Some change.

Now the function name is not font-locked.
