Add REST and GraphQL API to retrieve specific issue

Ethan Urie requested to merge 37248-add-api-to-monitor-issue-creation into master

What does this MR do?

Add API endpoints (REST & GraphQL) for a single Issue.

This is to support automated anti-abuse systems combating issue spam.

I added both REST and GraphQL endpoints because we're GraphQL-first but our current abuse-mitigation tool accesses the REST API.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

Availability and Testing

Locally, you should be able to retrieve an individual issue by these two methods:

  1. REST: curl "http://gitlab.dummy:3000/api/v4/issues/1" -H 'PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your API token>'
  2. GraphQL:
{
  query: {
     issue(id: "gid://gitlab/Issue/434") {
        title
        description
     }
   }
}
