Support new-update form prefill via URL #701

Before Bodhi 2.0, there was a method that enabled you to prefill some fields using URL. This included type of update, bugs, etc. The new version of Bodhi introduced this regression.

This "prefill" feature was used especially for security vulnerabilities, where the link was presented for a developer or release engineer in a comment. This speeded up a process of fixing flaws in Fedora.

The example of previously used URL, for reference:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/new/?type_=security&bugs=1178970,1178971

Thank you.

@lmacken @ralphbean Guys, can you please take a look into this.

This could improve creating security updates for Fedora. Consider example of a flaw CVE-2017-14107: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1489002#c1, where security team has generated a fedpkg update template for bodhi and a link in the security tracking bug. However, the current 2.0 Bodhi does not provide the prefilling.

Sorry for pinging you directly. Thank you.
