Add `Delete issue` option in issue page ellipsis dropdown

What does this MR do and why?

This MR adds a Delete issue option in the issue page ellipsis dropdown to make deleting an issue more discoverable. Currently, the only way to delete an issue is to first edit the description then the Delete issue button appears under the text box. #299933 (closed)

This commit also:

  • Adds snowplow tracking to both Delete issue buttons to compare usage, so we can track usage and potentially remove one of the buttons in the future
  • Changes deleting an issue from ajax to server-side form submission. The current ajax request also stops polling on the page, but we don't have access to the polling object in header_actions.vue so changing to server-side form submission reduces the complexity of stopping the polling on issue deletion.

The snowplow fields are:

  • For the Delete issue item in the ellipsis dropdown
    • action: click_dropdown
    • label: delete_issue
  • For the Delete issue button under the description text box
    • action: click_button
    • label: delete_issue
