Feature Description

Hello there 👋🏻

Currently the default commit messages for merges in pull requests are hard coded within Gitea:

20eaca6d05/models/pull.go (L243-L247)

I think it would be great if the default message could be a template, so that we can change them to our needs.

In our specific case the title of a PR has to be in a fixed form, e.g. "Issue #12345: Support commit message templates".
The commits within our repositories also have to comply to that form, so the workflow for merging is always:

Press merge button
Cut out the first part of the message up to PR title
Cut out everything after the PR title

With a template I could just change the template from Merge pull request '{{.Title}}'... to {{.Title}} :-)
