What does this MR do and why?

These enable users to set one or multiple issues as blocked or blocking. The quick actions can be used in the description (when creating or updating an issue) and in comments. Requires GitLab Starter license.

/blocks <some_existing_issue_url>
/blocks group/project#<some_existing_issue_iid>
  1. Verify that links appear in the linked items panel with the correct relationship
