Merge branch 'fix/merge-request-close-message' into 'master'

Prepend blank line to close message on merge request

## What does this MR do?
Adds a new line above the "Closes" message on a merge request.

## Why was this MR needed?
Autoappended `Closes` to the end of merge request needs a new line in the beginning. When using descriptive commit messages and the commit message body is used for the body of the merge request the Closes message should appear on a line by itself.
