Direction Kick-off: Use Premium bullet for issues and epics labeled as Starter/Premium

Michael Friedrich requested to merge direction-bullets-premium into master

Why is this change being made?

The direction kickoff page fetches the issues/epics for a specific version and then generates the list representations. This is done in generators/direction.rb, specifically issue_bullet() and epic_bullet(). These functions are not used anywhere else but the Direction page.

Users see the direction kick-off page as roadmap for the next releases and years. Seeing the Starter bullet next to issue could be misleading, as it is nowhere else on the website.

gitlab-org/gitlab#293864 (comment 509529531) explains a necessity to keep the Starter label for engineering on existing features.

To solve this confusion on the website only, I'd like to propose overriding the rendered text from issue labels until Starter is fully faded out.

Please discuss, I am not 100% confident that this is the correct solution.
