Add disable option for the auto-close referenced issues feature
What does this MR do?
This MR adds a new configuration option (project repository settings and project API) to disable the auto-close referenced issues feature on a per-project level. This feature covers two use-cases:
- Projects with more complex issue workflows (e.g. with review stage), where merged MRs with
Closes #X
shall not be closed automatically but rather after further manual review work. - Import (e.g. Git subtree merge) of commits with existing
Closes #X
commit messages, which shouldn't actually close any issues.
Closes #19754 (closed)
