Fetch initial merge request widget data async
What does this MR do?
This change is behind a feature flag: async_mr_widget
This changes the way the merge request widget is created with data. Currently the widget requires all data to exist in mrWidgetData
upon creation - which can cause the page to be slow.
Instead this change allows the widget to be created async. The initial data is requested from the server async and then the widget can render and create itself. gl.mrWidgetData
still exists, and only really contains the different paths and routes required inside of the widget.
Closes #31406 (closed)
