Do not restrict issues that can be assigned to epics by hierarchy position

What does this MR do and why?

Allow epics to have child issues from ancestors, descendants, or siblings group projects.

Before this MR when epic_issues_from_different_hierarchies was on it was not possible to add an issue from a ancestor group project to an epic. We do not want any kind of restriction anymore.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable epic_issues_from_different_hierarchies feature flag
  2. Create the following group structure:
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    A-->C;
    B-->D;
    C-->E;
  1. Create an epic on Group B
  2. Now you should also be able to assign child issues from groups A, C and E projects to the epic.

obs: With the flag disabled only issues from group D projects should be accepted.
