Setup a merging queue with commit message checks

[igor-sirotin]

Problem

Recently we merged #5596 with Squash and Merge feature. It formed this f05b7e7 with message:

[CHERRY-PICK] PRs #5581 #5557 (#5596)

And now all PR's on top of it are not passing the commit message check:

https://ci.status.im/blue/organizations/jenkins/status-go%2Fprs%2Ftests/detail/PR-5608/2/pipeline/

Solution

We need to ensure that suqash/merge commits also have proper message.
I believe merging queue should help us with this. No need to run the whole CI, just the commit message check.

cc @siddarthkay do you think it's possible to implement?

[siddarthkay]

Seems doable. I'll take a stab at this.

ouch

A merge queue cannot be enabled with branch protection rules that use wildcard characters (*) in the branch name pattern.

[igor-sirotin]

Hmm. Can we make the merge queue at least for develop for now?
Or does it require to remove branch protection wildcard rules at all?

currently testing this on a small repo, I'll get back to you with more info.

@siddarthkay this is actually important on our way of proper work with breaking changes.
Otherwise it's too simple to make a PR with unknown format in the develop branch 🤷
