When I run fedpkg update, fedpkg should be able to determine automatically if my build is a "newpackage" update or not.
fedpkg update
If my build's package has no other builds in the Koji -candidate tag (eg "epel8-candidate"), then fedpkg update should pre-fill the type= option as type=newpackage.
type=
type=newpackage
Steps to reproduce: 1. Request a new epel8 branch for a package. 2. Switch to the epel8 branch (git fetch && fedpkg switch-branch epel8). 3. Push everything that I need to the epel8 branch. 4. Build the package (fedpkg build) 5. Create the bodhi update (fedpkg update) 6. Look at the bodhi.template file that fedpkg has opened in my $EDITOR
git fetch && fedpkg switch-branch epel8
fedpkg build
bodhi.template
Actual results: fedpkg's bodhi.template file is asking me to fill out the type= of this update.
Expected results fedpkg should query Koji to see that there are no other builds in this build's -candidate tag, and simply prepopulate type= as type=newpackage.
This will make it easier for packagers to get new packages into Fedora and EPEL. It will also be very easy for a packager to override fedpkg's default value if we guess the wrong value in some corner case.
