t: add TC-SYNC-007 for target branch synchronization

Implement integration test test_007_change_target_branch to verify that changing the target branch of a package PR automatically updates the corresponding project PR's target branch. The test is marked as xfail since the functionality is not yet implemented. Updated integration/test-plan.md accordingly.

-Merge Modes
-----------
-
-| Merge Mode | Description
-|------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-| ff-only    | Only allow --ff-only merges in the package branch. This is best suited for
-|            | devel projects and openSUSE Tumbleweed development, where history should be linear
-| replace    | Merge is done via `-X theirs` strategy and old files are removed in the merge.
-|            | This works well for downstream codestreams, like Leap, that would update their branch
-|            | using latest version.
-| devel      | No merge, just set the project branch to PR HEAD. This is suitable for downstream
-|            | projects like Leap during development cycle, where keeping maintenance history is not important
