Adds a per-release 'Chef packaged product versions' subsection (Ruby,
OpenSSL, Ohai, InSpec) to the 19.4.x release notes, matching the pattern
used in the Automate release notes. This should be included in future
Chef Infra Client release note entries going forward; no backfill for
prior releases.

- Set final header/version to 19.4.40 (the shipped release per
  CHANGELOG.md's v19.4.40 tag) instead of the 19.4.x placeholder,
  matching the convention used by prior entries (e.g. 19.3.15).
- Filled in the actual release date (September 23, 2026) instead of
  TBD, per the v19.4.40 tag date in chef/chef's CHANGELOG.md.
- Fixed a truncated Markdown link for PR #16222 that was missing its
  closing parentheses/bracket.
