[API] Issue weight

Dear GitLab team,

I'd like to be able to view, edit, compose issue weight through the API.

This will be especially useful for the App as I could filter issues by weight as well as label (this is coming in a future update), I will show the weight of the issue list and issue detail screens.

Thank you

Thanks @JobV !

@JobV @DouweM will this be in 8.6? Do you remember who implemented the weight feature? We'll probably need to move this issue to the EE tracker.

@axil @dzaporozhets implemented it. It should be moved to EE, I agree.

Just curious @DouweM, when you say 'Moved to EE' does this mean implemented also in EE, or is it an EE only feature?

@matthew.wilkinson Issue weights are already an EE only feature. Of course GitLab.com is EE as well.

@DouweM thanks for clarifying that! That's OK with me :)

Just curious, I haven't had the time yet to test this myself, but if a CE edition API user calls an EE API feature, would the CE edition return an error with something like, "This is an EE feature?"

@matthew.wilkinson No, it won't, you just won't see the weight field in the issue response JSON, and any weight fields in your POST/PUT request will be ignored.

Can people currently set whether their GitLab instance is CE or EE? Would you like an API endpoint that gives you edition: "ce" or "ee", and version: "8.6.0rc1"?

@DouweM There's an issue I made about detecting for API version gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#5536. If that could return edition and version like you mention, this would be great.

I could put some screen in the App that informs CE users they are trying to use an EE feature. :-)

@matthew.wilkinson Interesting! Let's see what happens there.

On second thought, the version will likely be whatever's in the GitLab VERSION file, which will have an -ee suffix for EE! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/master/VERSION

Any update on this one? I see it was moved to the Backlog 4 months ago, wondering if this is on the roadmap for a near future release
