Auto-assign merge request author when creating from issue

What does this MR do?

When creating a merge request from an issue via "Create merge request" button, whoever clicked it will be the author of the merge request.

Additional to that, we are now auto-assigning the merge request to the author. This is to make it more convenient for the author to assign themselves.
