[gitlab] context data are missing

[marcaurele]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description of the bug

When using the GitLab integration feature, the gitlab block in the contextual data is empty from all its information. Therefore the username handle, nor the MR number is available to create useful links in the changelog.

Relates to #687

Steps To Reproduce

Configure cliff.toml as described for the Gitlab integration at https://git-cliff.org/docs/integration/gitlab

Expected behavior

The context data should contain:

• the technical username usable with @ handle
• the MR number related to the commit under pr_number
• the MR title under pr_title
• the MR labels under pr_labels

I thought it would be easier to start another issue. Feel free to close that one @orhun if you prefer.

I think it would make more sense to continue in #687 since it has more history about the cause and fix for this problem.

I hope @tonybutt enlightens us about his fix in #687 (comment) soon :)
