Stephen Finucane 03768832c4 Remove auto-branch name
The feature to configure branch names based on the presence of "bug",
"lp", "blueprint" or "bp" in the commit message is overly elaborate and
very OpenStack specific. Even with this, it hasn't been updated to keep
up with the times as many projects have migrated to Storyboard, which
isn't handled here.

Given that it frequently does the wrong thing and likely doesn't apply
to anyone outside of the OpenStack ecosystem, the wisest thing it to
simply remove the feature. This is a break in behavior but it seems
better than adding yet another flag for something that many users will
want enabled by default.

Support for auto-configuration of topic names based on the presence of
keywords in the commit message is removed. Previously, keywords such as
``bug``, ``bp`` or ``lp`` followed by a number would result in branch
names containing the associated number, e.g. ``bug/123``. This feature
was OpenStack specific, was a frequent source of bugs and clearly wasn't
being used that often, given that StoryBoard is a thing now and no one had
updated this feature to handle that metadata.
