Add merge_request.draft push option

Release notes

Add merge_request.draft push option

Problem to solve

I'd like to be able to create a merge request on the command-line that's a draft from the start as well as change the draft status via pushing. This is useful if you want to create a MR that you don't want merged or reviewed yet and then once you have solved any issues and push a new commit you can remove the draft status. Without a push option you end up creating a MR and associated notifications without the draft status which can be confusing if you add it later.

Intended users

User experience goal

The user should be able to create a MR via a push option that starts off in Draft form. The user should later be able to unset Draft status upon a new push.

Proposal

A new push option merge_request.draft should be added that can be set to True or False.

Further details

If no value is provided then it should default to True like merge_request.create.

Permissions and Security

The permissions should be the same as the UI button.
