Description

Spec number 13 from https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/:

> If included in the type/scope prefix, breaking changes MUST be indicated by a ! immediately before the :. If ! is used, BREAKING CHANGE: MAY be omitted from the footer section, and the commit description SHALL be used to describe the breaking change.

However, using `feat!` as a prefix, results in a PATCH release, not a MAJOR

Tried using a custom prefix mapping, but the expressions used to parse it seems to be dropping it due to the `!` and still resulted in a patch release.

I understand that this action is based off Angular's convention... so if you feel it's out of scope to make this change, I won't fight you :P

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how commit prefixes are parsed and how the parsed type determines the SemVer bump, then reproduce the case with `feat!`. Done means a `feat!` prefix produces a major release rather than a patch release, with coverage for the documented format.
