Issues Analytics: Add "Total open issues" - open issues at the end of the month (Issue backlog).

Problem to solve

• Issues analytics only shows opened issues - this information isn't too valuable by itself.
• Users want to see total number of issues superimposed with issue activity. This is one of the "Lifecycle metrics".
• Issues analytics is one of the drill-down from Value Streams Dashboard.

This issue is split from #233905 (closed)

Proposal

Adding to Issues Analytics:

• Group-level & Project-level.
• Adding new Y2 axis bars for total issue count line to show - "Total issues".
• Support the same filters that are currently available on the chart.
• Adding tooltip interaction (Example).
• GitLab Ultimate only.

• The data should be available on the GraphQL API with the usual restrictions (maximum 10K rows, premium or ultimate):

query {
  group(fullPath: "gitlab-org") {
    flowMetrics {
      issuesCompletedCount(from: "2022-01-01", to: "2022-02-01") {
        unit
        value
      }
    }
  }
}
