chore: remove changefeed and link to the livepeer.org changelog (#838)

* chore: remove changefeed and link to the livepeer.org changelog

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: drop leftover changefeed env var and unused markdown-to-jsx

The changefeed removal left CHANGEFEED_ACCESS_TOKEN in .env.example,
and markdown-to-jsx's only consumer was the deleted /whats-new page.
