Add "implements" to the default issue closing commit message regex

Description

I generally use "fixes #x" in the commit message for commits that fix bugs and "implements #x" for commits that implement features. The latter is not detected in Gitlab, and this feels like asymmetry.

Proposal

I propose that the syntax "implements #x" be added to the issue closing regex.
