Add `/assign me` alias support for assigning issuables to oneself
What does this MR do?
Currently, when a user wants to assign an issue/MR to himself, he needs to type his full username or select it from the suggested ones in the dropdown list.
This commits suggest a faster solution which is typing /assign me
Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
I hesitated about where to introduce this change. I submitted the simplest solution supporting /assign me or /unassign me, but we could also support more complex commands like assign me @jdoe, or even @me as a default "alias" to the current user in user references parser.
I'm not yet that familiar with GitLab code base to have a better opinion on this.
Why was this MR needed?
It's a suggested enhancement for /assign command
