Summary

WORKSPACE support was removed in #4005 (released in 0.71.0). The release notes template was not updated at the time, so every release since 0.71.0 (0.71.0, 0.71.1, 0.71.2, 0.71.3, 0.72.0) has advertised http_archive WORKSPACE snippets that don't work.

This removes all WORKSPACE sections from the template so future release notes only show the Bzlmod setup.

Also fixes a pre-existing missing </details> closing tag in the Prost extension section.

WORKSPACE support was removed in bazelbuild#4005 (released in 0.71.0).
The template was not updated at the time, causing every release
since 0.71.0 to advertise WORKSPACE http_archive snippets that
don't actually work (the functions they depend on no longer exist).

Also fixes a missing </details> closing tag for the Prost section.
