Change note creation script uses EDITOR environment variable

[paldepind]

Changes the script for creating change notes to read the EDITOR environment variable, and use the editor specified therein. This makes the script more convenient when used from a terminal.

The VSCode task is updated to the set EDITOR to code -r which preserves the current behavior.

PR Overview

This PR updates the change note creation script to utilize the EDITOR environment variable rather than hardcoding the VSCode command. It also updates the accompanying documentation to reflect that the editor specified by EDITOR will be used, preserving the previous behavior when VSCode is explicitly configured via environment settings.

• Updated code comments to reference $EDITOR.
• Replaced the hardcoded "code -r" command with a dynamic command read from the EDITOR environment variable.
• Ensured backwards compatibility by relying on the VSCode task to set EDITOR to "code -r".

• The default editor command is now 'code' instead of 'code -r', which may alter the behavior of reusing an existing VSCode window. If preserving the previous behavior is important, consider defaulting to 'code -r' when the EDITOR variable is not set.

editor = os.environ.get('EDITOR', 'code')
