Improve tribute @mentions UX

What does this MR do?

This MR improves tribute @mentions UX.

Previously, the member's display name and username showed on the same line. If this member was a group with long names and usernames, then this made the autocomplete menu very wide.

This MR shows the display name and username on separate lines, and for group members only the actual group name and its parent are shown rather than the complete path. Additionally, group members are searched using their group display name only and not any other text in their path (i.e. any of their ancestor groups).

This change is part of a feature which is behind the tribute_autocomplete feature flag, and is only active in issues (not MRs or epics).

Issue: #236003 (closed)
