Remove unused issue card weight filtering functionality

Chad Lavimoniere requested to merge 454455-weight-on-issue-board-card-should-not-be-clickable into master

What does this MR do and why?

The weight widget on an issue card used to be clickable to filter the board on issues that have that weight, but this functionality has been broken for years. This MR removes the broken functionality and aligns the weight widget with the milestone, iteration and due date widget styles on an issue card.
