Issue board assignee lists
- For both project boards and group boards, have the ability to add "assignee columns".
- Issues that appear in an assignee column are issues in which that user is an assignee.
- The sum of the issue counts remains the same, as the trash icon to remove the list.
- For the tier (as shown in the issue sidebar label), we have this feature, for lower tiers, we do not.
- For a lower tier, you do not show assignee lists.
- If a board previously had an assignee list, but the license of the current GitLab instance has been downgraded, don't show assignee lists (even though they existing in the database).
- For a lower tier, the UI will allow you to add just a label list using the normal dropdown we have today.

When you click the Add list button, you get a tabbed dropdown, and Label list is the default one.
There's a short help text line at the top of each tab. The copy for each of them is:
- Label list: "Label lists show all issues with the selected label."
- Assignee list: "Assignee lists show all issues assigned to the selected user."

Once an assignee list is added, its header shows the user's avatar, full name and @-username
