Alternative, short route for merge requests
Description
Compared to routes like /issues or /snippets, /merge_requests is an outlier in terms of length and ease of typing.
Proposal
Introduce alias at /mr which, importantly, isn't a mere redirect. This reduces the length and, by avoiding _requests, reduces likelihood of typos, too. Suggestions for alternatives that are not longer than, say, /merges welcome.
Before
https://server/org/proj/merge_requests
https://server/org/proj/merge_requests/123
After
https://server/org/proj/mr/123
Why
Not everything involving a GitLab instance happens inside the web app, so it's important to have ergonomic and easy to remember/type urls, too.
