Merge Requests from Forked Repositories cannot be updated due to permissions issues on the fork

[jsight]

Issue

The requests to update the merge request are using the source project ID. This is causing the calls to fail with a 403 error when the source repository (often a private fork) has not given permissions to the automation user.

It seems like the project id used for status updates should be the target project ID?

Context

• Gitlab plugin version: X.Y.Z
• Gitlab version: 11.6.11
• Jenkins version: 2.204.2
• Job type: Pipeline

Logs & Traces

Error: Failed to update Gitlab commit status for project '4633': HTTP 403 Forbidden (where 4633 is the fork)

For reference, this part of the code seems to specifically select the source project: OpenMergeRequestPushHookTriggerHandler.java
