…elease branches to bump versions (#1081)

- Allow release branches to bump versions - we need this for hotfix
branches, and already have it on the ui-v0.15 branch:
2803fea
- Need to update template to the correct format. Already did this on the
`release/ui-v0.15` branch: #570
- Take note there are still some issues to beware of when bumping a
release branch:
#557
