Set author on issuable to current user if it is not already set
What does this MR do and why?
Set current user as issuable author if the issuable author is not already set. This is needed sometimes when we have used a custom issuable Builder to build the issuable and we are calling the create service with the given built issuable to be created. E.g. import epic scenario.
