Gitlab Bugzilla integration

[Ben Cooksley]

Hi all,

This afternoon work has been completed to better link Gitlab with Bugzilla,
allowing people to get from Gitlab more quickly to Bugzilla and also
enabling us to link CCBUG/BUG references in commits, issues and merge
requests from Gitlab over to Bugzilla.

This functionality can be seen in action on
https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/commit/7ca7bf03b11ae72842006af8a66ed02894a4a605
(note that content posted prior to this being enabled may not feature links
due to caching in Gitlab)

This integration does not change in any way the use of Gitlab Issues, which
continue to remain intended for contributor collaboration and project
planning.

Use of this functionality requires the setup of some metadata within
sysadmin/repo-metadata which a number of projects have already completed.
Once added it will be synced to Gitlab overnight and will become available
the next day.

Thanks,
Ben Cooksley
