Refactor issue filter (labels, poster, assignee) (#32771)

Rewrite a lot of legacy strange code, remove duplicate code, remove jquery, and make these filters reusable. Let's forget the old code, new code affects: * issue list open/close switch * issue list filter (label, author, assignee) * milestone list open/close switch * milestone issue list filter (label, author, assignee) * project view (label, assignee)
