rake task for generating MR description
Why
Over the last two release cycles we've moved to a process of creating merge requests to which changes are cherry-picked. There was no documentation for this so I wrote myself some notes and have cleaned them up a bit in this MR.
I've also added a rake task generate MR description, as copying previous descriptions and updating branch names / repos was tedious. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-tools/merge_requests/173
