Add load-branch to tenant configuration
Currently it is hard to test changes on trusted repositories. The
currently most common way is to duplicate jobs and roles and have base
jobs that use the test variants of the roles under test. This however
still imposes a risk of breaking things when trying to move the tested
changes to the productive roles and jobs. Further as a downstream
deployer it can be hard to follow e.g. zuul-jobs because those are not
tested in every downstream deployment. There is no easy way of
updating upstream repos like zuul-jobs. Thus most deployers either
just follow zuul-jobs and deal with eventual fall out from
incompatibilities or don't update it on a regularly basis.
This change aims to support an easier and risk free method of updating
repos like zuul-jobs. This can be done by defining branch filters for
a repo in the tenant config. This way one can have a test tenant using
the latest is greatest master branch while keeping a stable branch for
productuve tenants. This way updates can be tested in the test tenant
and if everything works one can merge this to the stable branch to
take the updates into production.
