Show manage status link in the status dropdown

What does this MR do and why?

Show manage status link in the status dropdown

We are just using the acceptable solution and not the ideal solution because

  1. We will need some level of refactoring at this stage to include the modal on work item detail page (get the current lifecycle associated with the active work item type)
  2. After updating the status in the modal , we will need to refetch the the work item statuses since the user would have made any change and list is already populated with the current statuses.

We can create a separate issue for that - Link to discussion

This MR uses gl_introduced in graphql since the the backend was exposed in the same milestone.
