Editing an issue is slow

We're guessing it's because we load the "Move" drop-down synchronously, and loading all those projects takes a long time.

Loading it asynchronously isn't really ideal either, since that still takes the same amount of time, just later. Maybe we can make it an autocomplete where the user has to type at least part of the project name?

@rspeicher I made this project select dropdown asynchronous at the beginning, but decided to make it synchronous because is seemed less complicated and simple. The JavaScript implementation is still there, but has been reverted as it is quite complicated, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/414558939339bd636a3549866ce532fa25500bc5.
