Pass issue ID to merge request creation form

Harsh Chouraria requested to merge hchouraria-fix-mr-creation-from-issue-with-custom-branch into master

What does this MR do and why?

After the change !79227 (merged) the merge request creation form loses context of the issue it was created from when a custom branch name is used

This change adds an ability to retain the issue IID context throughout the process so the text 'Closes #IssueIID' appears on the merge request regardless of how the branch was created (automatic name or custom name)

This brings back the feature of related merge requests and system notes on the issue that went absent after the change above
