feat: introduce related_issues to merge requests - #1

Also fix __annotations__ not working in Python 3.14 by using the
annotation on the 'class' instead of on the 'instance'

Closes: python-gitlab#3013

This should get us to 100% test coverage on `gitlab/base.py`

GitLab's Repository Files API supports additional flags that weren't
implemented before. Notably, the "start_branch" flag is particularly
useful, as previously one had to use the "project-branch" command
alongside "project-file" to add a file on a separate branch.

With v5.1.0 CHANGELOG.md was updated that mangled v1.10.0 triple
backtick codeblock Traceback output that made sphinx fail [1] with a
non-zero return code.

The resulting docs appears to be processes as text after the failing
line [2].  While reviewing other backtick codeblocks fix v1.8.0 [3] to
the original traceback.

This commits allows users to configure the 'sort' filter as
defined in [1], so that one can fetch the most recent jobs
first.

Add `import gitlab.base` inside the TYPE_CHECKING block in
repositories.py so that pyright can resolve `gitlab.base.RESTObject`.

Without the explicit import, pyright cannot resolve the submodule
access via the parent package (implicit submodule access is a runtime
loader side effect that type checkers don't model). This caused
`_RestObjectBase` to be `Unknown`, propagating through `RepositoryMixin`
into `Project` and other classes.

Fixes python-gitlab#3342

This commits adds to the work done in [1]. After reading the
docs [2] again, you must define order_by when using sort, so
this commits adds this as an additional filter.

Added a section into the contributing docs to show how to pass
options to `pytest`. This can be useful during local development
for selecting specific tests. Running entire test suite is very
time consuming.

Add new API objects for managing project feature flags and feature flag
user lists, including CRUD operations, CLI support, and renaming via
save(). Introduce JsonAttribute type for handling JSON fields in request
bodies (e.g., feature flag strategies).
