Add breaking_change to removals template

Brian Rhea requested to merge add-breaking-change-to-removals into master

Why is this change being made?

Hopefully, we will no longer be using this template to announce removals as part of our effort to introduce a more scalable removals and breaking changes process.

But just in case we don't launch the new process in 14.7, this MR adds a breaking_change key to the removals template that we will use in the future to announce breaking changes and to compile a breaking changes blog post.
