Title: Gitlab flavored markdown

Allows use of Github Flavored Markdown to link to
* issues (#123)
* merge request (!123)
* commits (1234567)
* team members (@foo)
* snippets ($123)

in
* commit messages
* notes/comments/wall posts
* issues
* merge requests
* milestones
* wiki pages

and fulfills much of the promise of #527.

Please test this before merging and come back with any issues.
The links are marked up nicely so individual styling can be applied.
For now it will just show a tooltip with some info about the linked item when hovering over the link.

What is not included:
* linking to notes/attachments (let's say it's complicated)
* fancy styling (ideas and help appreciated, especially help)
* making it more discoverable and adding docs/help
* automated actions or notifications (this will be tough)
