Spruce up the check-newsfragment CI output (#8024)

This PR:

* Reduces the amount of noise in the `check-newsfragment` CI output by hiding the dependency installation output by default.
* Prints a link to the changelog/debian changelog section of the contributing guide if an error is found.

changelog.d/8024.misc

+Reduce less useful output in the newsfragment CI step. Add a link to the changelog section of the contributing guide on error.
