Configure default branch name for branches created from merge request

Description

Problem: Currently, the "Create Merge Request" only supports the default issue template of {issue number}-{issue-name-hyphenated}

The creation of branches has become a heavily utilized feature for us, but we are unable to change the default template for branch creation, and we use the convention of {project acronym}-{issue number} for our projects, e.g. SP-3

Proposal

In the project configuration screen, add an option for the default template for branch creation, including injectable parameters for issue name, issue number, and hard-coded strings or text.
