Support linking to issues, stories, epics and anything just by their number

[jktjkt]

I would like to have a uniform way of linking to bugs, user stories, epics, etc, of a given project hosted at tree.taiga.io just by their number. Right now the backend uses different URL prefixes for each of these categories. What I would like to have are links which work no matter if I'm linking to an issue report, or a user story, or a task, or an epic, etc.

This functionality is available on GitHub. For example, I can link to this project's PR#2 either:

• as a PR, https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-back/pull/2,
• or as an issue https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-back/issues/2, and I'm always correctly redirected.

This will help us integrate our Gerrit server which we use for code review with Taiga. That way, we could configure our external service to convert text such as fix #1234567890 into a "universal link", let's call it https://tree.taiga.io/project/SOMETHING/item/1234567890.

While this is not implemented, we have to distinguish between mentions such as issue #1234567890, story #1234567890, task #1234567890 and epic #1234567890, which makes it extra effort to link to issues, and people just copy-paste links around, which in turn breaks Gerrit's bug: searching and makes configuration and usage of Gerrit's links to reports more complicated.
