Allow housekeeper changes to use the merge request URL
What does this MR do and why?
Adds support for using a placeholder for the merge request URL, <HOUSEKEEPER_MR_WEB_URL>
, that keeps can use in their code. This will be substituted for the actual URL when the merge request is created. The intended use case for this is being able to set fields such as introduced_by_url
in batched background migration dictionary files (example)
To enable this, the housekeeper now pushes an empty branch and merge request before committing to the branch.
