Backfill work items for epics

Alexandru Croitor requested to merge backfill_epic_work_item_basic_fields into master

What does this MR do and why?

This MR iterates over Epic records in epics table where issue_id IS NULL and creates a corresponding record in the issues table. The backfilling also copies the basic fields from epic table into the issues table fields.

Note: This MR specifically backfills epics for a single hand selected group. In this instance the selected group is gitlab-org/plan-stage We do this in order to monitor that the backfilled epics stay in sync and fix any issues on synching, before we run a complete backfilling of all epics and also release this to self-managed customers. This should prevent having to run the backfilling on all epics multiple times.
