Allow cross-project / cross-namespace issues

Description

Issues live within a project. However some issues affect multiple projects and creating the same issue for each of them causes a lot of duplication.

Proposal

Mark issues to affect multiple projects. This implies listing the issues in the issue list / boards of every affected project and also of the corresponding namespace.

Use cases

  • similar projects with different "flavors" (for example GitLab CE / EE)
  • issues which require upstream changes (for example GitLab CE / Gitaly)
  • issues which are worked on in forks (for example GitLab CE community contributions)

Feature checklist

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