What does this MR do and why?

Transform /issues and /epics URLs to /work_items when the work_items_consolidated_list feature is enabled at the project or group level.

  • Update routing helpers to check feature flag
  • Transform issue and epic URLs in Gitlab::UrlBuilder
  • Apply transformation to notes on issues and epics
  • Add comprehensive specs for URL transformation logic

The feature is controlled by work_items_consolidated_list_enabled? method which checks the work_item_planning_view feature flag.
