Draft: Support default pinned sidebar items when logged out

Lee Tickett requested to merge gitlab-community/gitlab:default-pins-when-logged-out into master

What does this MR do and why?

Our barrier to entry while not logged in is quite high. Finding issues and merge requests requires familiarity with the product.

This MR adopts the same default pinned navigation items when logged out which we apply when logged in.
