Create epic work items via modal on any group level page

Jack Chapman requested to merge 435284-create-work-item-from-sidebar-menu into master

What does this MR do and why?

Adds the ability to create work item epics via a modal from the 'create' menu in the sidebar.

This should work from any page in GitLab that would normally present a link to the legacy 'new epic' form page (any 'group level' page).

The modal is quite basic currently but will be improved in !150084 (merged).
