chore(release): v0.42.0

[LargeModGames]

Release v0.42.0

Version bump and changelog for v0.42.0. No code changes.

Also adds .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/release.md, the template this PR uses,
so future releases go through a PR instead of a push to main
(gh pr create --template release.md; the root template stays the default).

Checklist

• CHANGELOG.md: ## [Unreleased] renamed to ## [v0.42.0] 2026-09-08, every user-facing PR since v0.41.0 has an entry
• Cargo.toml version bumped and Cargo.lock regenerated (cargo update -p spotatui --offline)
• cargo metadata --locked passes (every CI leg runs with --locked)

After merge

git checkout main && git pull
git tag v0.42.0
git push origin v0.42.0

The tag push runs cd.yml. Check the release page once it finishes: the download links resolve and both .deb rows are present.
