Upcoming changes to pull requests and merge check configuration

[#1]

Hi all - there are a range of changes coming to the Pull Request and Merge Check configuration processes over the next few weeks as we get closer to the GA release of custom merge checks.

For more information, please check out the detailed blog post here: https://bitbucket.org/blog/upcoming-changes-to-pull-requests-and-merge-check-configuration

Note we have started rollout of recommended checks feature to some of the workspaces that have opted into custom checks EAP, and will progressively roll it out more broadly in the coming week.

You can configure a recommended check by selecting "Recommended" option on repo settings -> custom merge checks page. Unlike required checks, failed recommended checks will not prevent PR from getting merged.
