Points: pay for contributions (#6481)

* Add point totals display to all statistics sections in count-points script

* Update funding contributors documentation and add release notes for contributor point counting script

* Refactor contributor points calculation and enhance PR category determination

- Updated point values for PR contributions: reduced points for Features, Enhancements, Bugfix, and Maintenance, and added a new category for Unknown contributions.
- Introduced a new function to retrieve the last commit SHA before a specified date to improve accuracy in reading release notes.
- Modified the getPRCategoryAndPoints function to accept a monthEnd parameter for better context in point assignment.

* Update contributor points values in count-points script to reflect new scoring system

* Add new blog post on funding contributors' next steps

This post outlines plans to expand the contributor compensation system, including broader rewards for project involvement, targeted donations, and a points-based system for feature work. It emphasizes transparency and community feedback in shaping future funding strategies.

* Increase Bugfix points from 2 to 3

* Change points awarded for Features to 2
