Send a copy of one Snowplow event to Product Analytics collector

What does this MR do?

  • Create a client for the Product Analytics snowplow collector, so that we can send server-side events to it from within GitLab
  • Send a copy of one event (issue -> epic promotion) to the Product Analytics collector

Notes:

  • The Usage Ping setting is checked before sending events
  • The Product Analytics snowplow collector is behind the product_analytics feature flag
  • The events will be associated to the self monitoring project
  • A future MR will aggregate this event and report it via Usage Ping
