Wiki editor and display: allow crosslink shortcut and display

Problem to solve

There is no crosslink shortcut available when authoring the wiki pages. It will be a great feature and provide feature parity comparing to other wiki like tools.

Proposal

• Group wiki and project wiki page default and rich editor to enable the crosslink short cut for epic, issue, MR, snippet, group and mention (all GitLab allowed crosslink)
• Display the link when crosslink is entered
• Allow the additional operation added such as + after to display the title of the crosslink item
• Display the crosslink properly on the page (title and URL etc)

Current behavior

• You can use URL links directly but not shortcut like # ! @
• You cannot mention users

Documentation (remove if not applicable)

Update crosslink doc for wiki usage

Success Criteria

• On group and project wiki default and rich editor, allow crosslink shortcut for all crosslink items from epic, issue, MR, snippet, to mentions (group and users)
• Display crosslink properly on the wiki page
