fix: Restore "untyped section" feature

In versions prior to 2.4.1, Jinja templates could optionally generate change lines by accessing the `""` section (e.g. `untyped_section`). This allowed for capturing of commit messages that would otherwise be lost.

Upon version 2.4.1, that was broken and `untyped_section` became always empty.

This change restores the functionality.
