Allow adding a sharding key follow-up issue URL to dictionary entries

Tiger Watson requested to merge add-sharding-key-issue-url-to-db-dictionary into master

What does this MR do and why?

Allows adding an issue link to a database dictionary file, named sharding_key_issue_url. This will be used for tables that we have been unable to generate a (desired) sharding key for automatically, and will allow us to easily track issues (and weights/milestones) for all remaining tables (for example, to add to the progress dashboard).

There are specs to ensure that:

  • sharding_key and sharding_key_issue_url cannot both be present (if sharding_key is set, there is no need for a follow up issue).
  • sharding_key_issue_url is a valid issue URL in the gitlab-org/gitlab project.
