Jan Provaznik b39b5524f2 Use message body for merge request description
When a merge request is created from email, use message body
as merge request description. If message body is empty then
merge request description is still created from the source
branch commit (if there is only single commit in the merge
request).

If message body is empty and there are multiple commits in
the source branch, then merge request description is left empty.

Closes #40968
