Fix HTML decoding in related issues error message
What does this MR do and why?
On the violation details page for the Related issues section, server error messages containing HTML entities were being displayed as-is instead of being decoded.
This change replaces text interpolation with GitLab's SafeHtml directive to properly decode HTML entities while maintaining security through DOMPurify sanitization.
