Dr. Jens Harbott 64f649cd72 Order branches according to OpenStack release names
OpenStack has changed the naming scheme for stable branches after
reaching the end of the alphabet. In order to make sure that the new
branches like stable/2023.1 are sorted after the previous names like
stable/zed, two new variables are introduced that control the sorting
behaviour.

features:
- |
The default sort order for branch names has been modified in order
to accomodate the way OpenStack stable branches are named. Branches
that match the pattern ``stable/[0-9].*`` will be sorted as
``stable/zzz[0-9].*``. This ensures that the new numerical branch
names like ``stable/2023.1`` will be sorted after the older stable
branches like ``stable/zed``. Two new variables have been added to
control the behaviour, ``branch_sort_re`` and ``branch_sort_prefix``.
