Added tasks back to issues API

Donald Cook requested to merge dc/tasks-issues-api into master

What does this MR do and why?

We removed the ability to fetch work items from the issues API because they were missing a few things that legacy issues had. Now that we are nearing parity with tasks, it makes sense to add it back, which this MR does.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Get a list of issues in a project on the command line like so: 
    curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <token>" "http://localhost:3000/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/issues"
  2. Create a new task using the API 
    curl -X POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <token>" "http://localhost:3000/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/issues?title=test+task&issue_type=task"
    Note the ID of the newly created task
  3. Make the same request 
    curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <token>" "http://localhost:3000/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/issues"
  4. You should see the newly created task first on the list and with the attribute issue_type:task
  5. You can also filter the issue list by the new type 
     curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <token>" "http://localhost:3000/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/issues?issue_type=task"
