* new merge request can be created by sending an email to the specific
email address (similar to creating issues by email)
* for the first iteration, source branch must be specified in the mail
subject, other merge request parameters can not be set yet
* user should enable "Receive notifications about your own activity" in
user settings to receive a notification about created merge request
Part of #32878
If a merge request was created with a branch name that also matched a tag name,
we'd generate a comparison to or from the tag respectively, rather than the
branch. Merging would still use the branch, of course.
To avoid this, ensure that when we get the branch heads, we prepend the
reference prefix for branches, which will ensure that we generate the correct
comparison.
Replace issue access checks with use of IssuableFinder

## Which fixes are in this MR?
⚠️ - Potentially untested
💣 - No test coverage
🚥 - Test coverage of some sort exists (a test failed when error raised)
🚦 - Test coverage of return value (a test failed when nil used)
✅ - Permissions check tested
### Issue lookup with access check
Using `visible_to_user` likely makes these security issues too. See [Code smells](#code-smells).

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
