Improve Jira Connect search UX

Tom Quirk requested to merge 331029-improve-jira-connect-search-ux into master

What does this MR do and why?

This MR updates the Jira Connect namespace search functionality such that the page isn't reset when the search term length is < 3.

The background is that the fetchGroups API returns the same results for search terms with length < 3. For example, a search for g and for gi return the same results, but git is where the search "kicks in".

If a user is on a page > 1, we want to preserve this page if the search term length is < 3.

How to set up and validate locally

Set up guide: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/integrations/jira_connect.html.

Setting up the Jira Connect app is quite an involved process. If you'd like to test manually, let me know and we can organize a sync demonstration call.

Alternatively, you can manually update the code to render the groups_list component in a page you are more familiar with!
