feat: Show merged or closed MR for branch

Lennard Sprongrequested to merge
gitlab-community/gitlab-org/gitlab-vscode-extension:X_Sheep/mr-status-bar-icon into main

Description

This changes the API request to not filter by opened Merge Requests, and instead select the most recent Merge Request with the most relevant status (opened > merged > closed). It also updates the display of the Tree Item and the Status Bar when a merged MR is shown.

How has this been tested?

  1. Open a project
  2. Checkout a branch with an associated merge request, or create one
  3. Merge or close the MR
  4. Refresh the extension state
  • If src/browser or src/common has been modified, please consider interoperability with the Web IDE. See Running the Extension in WebIDE.
  • Consider an end-to-end test for significant new features that aren't covered by integration tests.
