refactor merge request build service

add changelog entry

replace local variables `merge_request` with instance ones

modify `MergeRequests::BuildService` to fix failed tests

extract `assign_target_project` method

remove unnecessary instance variables

remove exclamation marks and rewrite conditionals to improve readability

extract `params_does_not_contain_branches?` method, rename `unprepared_merge_request` method to `uncreatable_merge_request`

replace instance variables `merge_request` and `error_messages` with getters and setters; divide `set_title_and_description` method on two separate ones

refactor `execute` method

return `set_title_and_description` method

rename `branches_selected?` method to `branches_present?` to make it more different from `branches_specified?`

fixes after discussion

renamed method branches_valid?

fix space

return assigning methods into `execute` method

simplify `find_target_branch` and `find_source_project` methods

fix spec `merge request issuable record that supports slash commands in its description and notes`
