Adds new configuration options ``closed_branch_tag_re`` (to
identify tags that replace branches that have been closed) and
``branch_name_prefix`` (a value to be added back to the closed
branch tag to turn it into the original branch name.
These options are used in OpenStack to support scanning the
history of a branch based on the previous series branch, even
after that previous series is closed by setting
``closed_branch_tag_re`` to ``(.+)-eol`` so that the series name
in a value like ``"mitaka-eol"`` is extracted using the
group. With ``branch_name_prefix`` set to ``"stable/"`` the tag
``mitaka-eol`` becomes the branch name ``stable/mitaka``.
fixes:

Fixes bug 1746076 so that scanning stable branches correctly
includes the history of earlier closed stable branches.
