Liquibase Secure Developer Extension Release Notes v 1.1.0

This 1.1.0 release focuses on quality improvements and bug fixes, particularly in the areas of changelog generation and command functionality. This release addresses numerous issues with generated change types that contain invalid or forbidden attributes, enhances the Policy Checks commands, improves changelog validation capabilities, and enhances the user experience for file creation and flow commands.
