[BuildStream] Gitlab features: label priority and issues list filtering

[Agustín Benito Bethencourt <agustin benito codethink co uk>]

Hi,

based on a demand from Tristan, the priority of labels[1] in the 
BuildStream repo has changed.

Before the priority matched the severity scale:
Blocker -> Critical -> Urgent -> Important

Now the priority is:
blockers -> high_impact ->bug -> enhancements.

So those of you who use the issues list and apply the default filter "label 
Priority", placed right from the filter bar, you will see now a different 
set of issues, based on the new priorities.

sort=label_priority&state=opened

Remember that, by default, the filter only shows the open issues.

If you want to use a different label based prioritization, please remember 
that Gitlab stores the last 5 searches you have made. You can access them 
in a menu place left from the filter bar.

The above change in label priority also affect the outcome of applying the 
same default filter in the MR list view. So in the MR list view, if you now 
apply the Label Priority default filter[2], you will see the current list of 
MR ordered by the new prioritized labels. Again, you can create your custom 
label priority based search and access to it (5 last searches).

It is not possible for now to save your own searches/filters[3].
