Display issuable state only in notes
Description
In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/9462 we introduced a visual indication when an issue or a merge request is closed or merged. This applies to the whole GFM, so it includes:
- notes
- issue description
- issue title
- wiki
- Markdown files
- ...
In some cases it may be unfortunate, for example:
-
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md. Also
CHANGELOG.mdof GitLab CE is kind of a special case, but it's really long and there is a significant number of merge requests referenced. We can't estimate the impact on performance right now because it's broken (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30874), but it may be high. 
Proposal
Display issuable state only in notes.
Potential problems
We share a lot of code for previewing Markdown, so it may be hard to display the state in the preview of a note.

@adamniedzielski are you OK to take this when you're back? Please unassign if you can't

@smcgivern Yes, I can take this.
I'll take a look how difficult showing the status in descriptions is. If it's not so easy I'd like to ship 9.1 with the status only in notes and add it to descriptions in 9.2.
What's more, we won't show the status when previewing Markdown. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/10054 will make it easier, so I'll create a separate issue for this and we can do it in 9.2.
