Fix for GitLab.com integration interruption

• Yesterday, GitLab.com was updated with a breaking change that prevents the API from being accessed via username/password credentials. Per GitLab - only Personal Access Tokens (PAT) and OAuth tokens are now valid.
• Version 2.12.7.1 contains a fix to allow Personal Access Tokens to be used in the GitLab integration (which on GitLab.com are created here: https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens)
• Video instructions on creating a Personal Access Token (or Multi-Factor Authorization token): https://bigbrassband.wistia.com/medias/tzti4rs7nk

• A more complete version will be released soon with a wizard prompting for the Personal Access Token and related instructions.
