Store changes under changes/<ulid>/change.md

The web, the CLI, and the docs call these items changes; only the metadata
tree still said requests. Rename the directory and the record file so the
format and the product use one word.

The tree is a contract, so this is a format change rather than a display
change: the top-level layout stays closed, and a request path no longer
validates. An existing repository is migrated by rewriting its vole branch,
which is an audited admin force-push; the index rebuilds from the new tip
and the #N aliases keep their ULIDs because the rewrite preserves commit
order.
