Add confidential parameter to epic link creation API
What does this MR do?
This allows specifying the confidentiality of an epic created using the epic links API as a child of another epic (i.e. POST groups/:id/epics/:epic_iid/epics
). This is needed, because sub-epics of a confidential epic can only be confidential. Currently, trying to create a new sub-epic of a confidential epic using this endpoint fails (as described in #229839 (closed)). Consequently, the (reasonable) default for this new parameter is to copy the confidentiality status of the parent epic.
Additionally, this includes a minor frontend change to replicate this default behavior on the frontend. This is actual unnecessary, as omitting it has the same effect, but I felt it would be better to be independent from any backend defaults there. But I am happy to hear opinions on this.
