Auto-set title for branches created from issues

If a branch starts with an issue's IID, followed by a hyphen, the
description will be updated to say that is closes the issue. This also
updates the title of the merge request to 'Resolves "$issue-title"', as
long as:
- There is more than one commit in the merge request (if there is only
  one commit, the commit's title will be used as before)
- The issue's IID is valid for the project
