Feature request: Auto detect first release

Hi,

Is it possible to detect first release automatically? Possible alternatives if they don’t conflict current features:

• If version is 0.0.0.
• If there is no CHANGELOG.md or it is empty.

Kind regards,

in my package.json I had 0.0.0, and the logic with --first-release is simple: it skips the bump.

there’s also no coordination of package-lock.json with package.json when running --first-release; if I use 0.0.0 in package.json and manually change the version to e.g., 0.1.0 in preparation for --first-release, it will publish w/o updating package-lock.json to 0.1.0. at least, I think so–will have to double-check.
