Check that backport PRs have relevant PR references #76

Description

@joestringer

When generating release notes for a backport PR, the release tool first checks for a stanza like the following, and in that case uses the parent PR to determine the release note categorization and release note:

```upstream-prs
40399
```

If this is omitted, then the release note tool categorizes the PR as "other", which puts it right at the end - even if the release note might be important to highlight to users.

We've hit a few cases recently where developers have posted bugfix PRs without properly categorizing them.

MLH bot could lint for this, to check that either there is an upstream-prs section in the PR description, OR a label is set with release-note/*.
