Migrate epic events to internal events: vol.6 - epic links events

What does this MR do and why?

Related to #421593 (closed)

Migrate some of the redis_hll_counters.epics_usage.epics_usage_total_unique_counts_monthly event's sub-events to Internal Events API.

Script used to update the files:

class DebugGenerator < Gitlab::Analytics::InternalEventsGenerator
  source_root File.expand_path('generator_templates/gitlab_internal_events', __dir__)

  def create_metric_file
    validate!

    template "event_definition.yml",
      event_file_path(event),
      options.fetch(:event_desc)
  end

  def milestone
    "16.5"
  end
end

is_ee = true
mr_number = 132030
unique_by = "user.id"
section = "dev"
stage = "plan"
group = "product_planning"
events_with_desc = [
['g_project_management_epic_cross_referenced', "An epic has been cross referenced"],
['g_project_management_epic_related_added', "A related epic has been added"],
['g_project_management_epic_related_removed', "A related epic has been removed"],
['g_project_management_epic_blocking_added', "A blocking epic has been added"],

]


events_with_desc.each do |event_name, event_desc|
  tiers = is_ee ? %w[premium ultimate] : %w[free premium ultimate]
  DebugGenerator.new([], {
    event: event_name,
    event_desc: event_desc,
    section: section,
    stage: stage,
    group: group,
    mr: "https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/#{mr_number}",
    unique: unique_by,
    tiers: tiers
  }).invoke_all
  ['28d', '7d'].each do |days|
    dir_prefix = is_ee ? "ee/" : ""
    event_file_pattern = event_name.delete_prefix('g_project_management_')
    event_file_pattern = event_file_pattern.delete_prefix('users_setting_')
    event_file_pattern = event_file_pattern.gsub('epic_users_changing_labels', 'epic_labels')

    files = Dir["#{dir_prefix}config/metrics/counts_#{days}/*\_#{event_file_pattern}\_*"]
    raise StandardError, "Multiple files found: #{files}" unless files.count == 1
    file_name = files.first

    text = File.read(file_name)
    new_contents = text.gsub(/distribution:/, "events:
  - name: #{event_name}
    unique: #{unique_by}\ndistribution:")
    new_contents = new_contents.gsub(/data_source: redis_hll/, "data_source: internal_events")

    File.open(file_name, "w") {|file| file.puts new_contents }
  end
end

Before	After

How to set up and validate locally

1. Enable snowplow micro
2. Trigger any of the events migrated here:

• link an epic as related, blocked, or blocking another one
• remove the link

4. Make sure that the events have been triggered with content as per their new event definition files [eg. - category sent as InternalEventTracking] on the http://localhost:9091/micro/good snowplow micro endpoint.
