Consolidate merge request main actions in one place

Problem
Currently the main (frequent/important) actions of a merge request are scattered throughout the UI. This causes many problems:

- Increases time spent finding these frequent or important actions
- Increases user's cognitive load
- Relies more on user's memory than intuitiveness
