Subject: [PATCH] build: fix generation of ChangeLog

We must be able to have one when git is not present because we include
it in dist, but we also must generate it on each release. The previous
fix would keep the ChangeLog empty or not updated. We use a PHONY
target instead (and not a real PHONY target since we cannot add it
because automake doesn't like it).
