Link to canonical issue in duplicate issue closing email notification

Ian McInerney requested to merge imcinerney/gitlab:im/duplicate_email into master

This MR adds a message to the email notification sent when an issue is closed as a duplicate saying it is a duplicate and providing a link to the canonical issue. This helps discoverability of the duplicate, and prevents any initial confusion by a user when they receive the closed email (so they don't think the project just decided to close the issue without triaging it).

This is setup similar to the way the notification for closed by a merge request is, where the user will only receive the link in their email notification if they have read access to the canonical issue.

The new email notification:

DuplicateEmail

Fixes #341861
