Contributor guidance permits descriptive fragment names, but validation rejected them. Prefix those names before Towncrier builds so they do not become issue references.

tox#4371 had to rename a descriptive changelog fragment to its PR number because news validation rejected the bare name. Projects using release-creator can now accept descriptive names without changing their contributor guidance.
Validation checks bare names and catches collisions with their
+forms. Before Towncrier builds a release, the fragment linker adds the orphan prefix so the filename does not turn into an issue reference. Projects can adopt this through their next release-tools lock update after publication.
