Fix missing system notes and system events on create issue [RUN ALL RSPEC] [RUN AS-IF-FOSS]

Alexandru Croitor requested to merge system-note-and-events-on-issue-create into master

What does this MR do?

This MR fixes an edge case of some resource events and corresponding system notes for issues not being created when an issue is created. The problem occurs when for instance at issue creation time user selects a milestone and and epic(important), in which case even though both milestone and epic are assigned to the issue the event about issue being assigned to a milestone is missing, thus making the burndown/burnup charts to display erroneous information.

The problem was related to the fact that we were saving the epic_issue relationship before saving the issue itself and before handling the changes on the issue. Saving the epic_issue triggers an issue save as well. So when we save the issue explicitly lated on we see no date in previous_changes hash, thus leading to the code that used previous_changes hash to handle creation of resource events to not save corresponding data.

The same issue occurred for assignees.
