Skip projects filter on issues search

When searching for issues, an additional subquery
is added which filters only issues in a project. If global context is
used (no project is specified) this query filters all projects user has
access to.

In that case we can skip this filter because filtering only projects
user has access to is added anyway.

The filter is used only if a custom project context is specified
