Automatic note closing on changeset close

I thought of an idea, some editors indicate which notes have been closed during the editing process:

However, closing a note before uploading the changes is not practically correct and may introduce confusion.

• Let's introduce a special changeset tagging closes:note that will automatically close the given notes whenever that changeset is closed.
• Format is similar to closed:note: numeric IDs separated by ;.
• By default, the changeset's comment is used as the closing message on the notes (if provided).
• It is possible to provide alternate comment for all notes via closes:note:comment.
• Individual note comments can be set using closes:note:ID:comment.
• If no comment is provided on the changeset, or in the override tagging, the notes are closed without a message.
• In a case the note is already closed, do nothing.
• Testing would be nice but we can do that later (outside of the scope of the bounty).

It's a good idea to associate changeset with the note closing messages. We will do that in a separate issue and likely store the association info in the db.
