Create / restore forking relationship

Description

Merge requests are only supported from fork to original project or between forks after https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20097. It is currently not possible to "mark" a project to be a fork of another project.

Proposal

Similar to removing a forking relationship in the project settings, one could create a new forking relationship by selecting a parent project.

Use cases

  • new project is created and merge requests should be made to existing one
  • project is forked, forking relationship removed and should later be readded

Feature checklist

Make sure these are completed before closing the issue, with a link to the relevant commit.
