Add child work item with quick actions

Release notes

You can now add a child record via quick actions for work item records (tasks, objectives and key result).

Summary

Given that we have Hierarchy support present for Work Items, we want to expose this functionality via quick actions too.

This issue proposes to add /add_child quick action for work items, where the syntax would be as follows;

/add_child <work item #iid, reference, or a URL>

In case the child is already a part of any other work item, we need to remove it from there and add it as child to the current work item instead, similar to /set_parent, this operation needs to be communicated on UI via quick action success message.
