WIP: Real-time issue sidebar assignees using GraphQL subscriptions

What does this MR do?

Makes assignees in the issue sidebar update in real-time

This is still WIP and would need MRs in other repos, so to test locally:

1. Switch workhorse in GDK to the proxy-actioncable-ws-route branch

   • Checkout the branch in path-to-your-gdk/gitlab-workhorse/src/gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse
   • In the GDK root, do: make gitlab-workhorse-setup
   • You might want to add auto_update: false to the workhorse section of gdk.yml so this doesn't get overriden on the next GDK update

2. Copy config/cable.yml.example to config/cable.yml and change the redis URL to: unix:/path-to-your-gdk/redis/redis.socket

3. Restart GDK

4. Open an issue

5. When the issue is updated (in another tab or by another user), you should see a message (GraphQL result of assignees query) logged to the browser console.

TODOs:

• Update workhorse to proxy ActionCable path gitlab-workhorse!454 (merged)
• Update GDK to setup config/cable.yml
• Update omnibus to setup config/cable.yml
• Update test setup to work with ActionCable
• Frontend work to update sidebar
• Move behind a feature flag
• Make number of ActionCable threads configurable
• Increase DB / Redis connection pool
