Revert Enable Special References for Vulnerabilities
What does this MR do?
This MR reverts Enable Special References for Vulnerabilities related to taking the "+" symbol as a reference prefix for Vulnerabilities (#222483 (closed)). The decision to revert the functionallity was made in #264441 (comment 429187245)
Reverted MRs:
- Resolve problem with rendering thumbsup emoji
- Enable Special References for Vulnerabilities
- Use backend filtering to autocomplete vulnerabilities
- Add + as a special reference for to GFM Autocomplete
Remaining changes
Rationale: Reverting this will not bring any problems and introduces more noise. Instead I only removed methods related to references
Rationale: This doesn't interfere with any existing functionallity and we will leverage this independently of the chosen reference prefix
