Frontend for adding the merge request stats to block header section in Release Progress View

Problem to solve

After validating with users, when looking at a release they would like to see related Merge requests in the Release Progress view.

Intended users

For this issue, we want to enable visibility into merge requests by including related MRs for a release:

  • Use Case 2 a user during planning will want to see how many merge requests within a release are planned

Show # merge requests, # of merge requests closed, and % as completion metric on releases page, for each associated milestone next to where we show the link to the milestone.

See thread with UX solution validation process #31615 (comment 216704330) release_page
