Issue weight

To be able to use GitLab issues as a scrum tool, it'd be great if you could view the weight / total weight of issues. For instance in the milestone view, where you could see how much work all the issues are together and what percentage is done.

I want to discuss a way to do this, that doesn't introduce a million new text inputs, dropdowns and others.

One proposal is to base it on labels, where a label weight: 1 will have as special power that all weight: X labels in a milestone are summed.

We could add the weight: X, where X is Fibonacci up until 8 to the suggested set of labels.
