Use a JOIN in IssuableFinder#by_project

When using IssuableFinder/IssuesFinder to find issues for multiple
projects it's more efficient to use a JOIN + a "WHERE project_id IN"
condition opposed to running a sub-query.

This change means that when finding issues without labels we're now
using the following SQL:

    SELECT issues.*
    FROM issues
    JOIN projects ON projects.id = issues.project_id

    LEFT JOIN label_links ON label_links.target_type = 'Issue'
                          AND label_links.target_id  = issues.id

    WHERE (
        projects.id IN (...)
        OR projects.visibility_level IN (20, 10)
    )
    AND issues.state IN ('opened','reopened')
    AND label_links.id IS NULL
    ORDER BY issues.id DESC;

instead of:

    SELECT issues.*
    FROM issues
    LEFT JOIN label_links ON label_links.target_type = 'Issue'
                          AND label_links.target_id  = issues.id

    WHERE issues.project_id IN (
        SELECT id
        FROM projects
        WHERE id IN (...)
        OR visibility_level IN (20,10)
    )
    AND issues.state IN ('opened','reopened')
    AND label_links.id IS NULL
    ORDER BY issues.id DESC;

The big benefit here is that in the last case PostgreSQL can't properly
use all available indexes. In particular it ends up performing a
sequence scan on the "label_links" table (processing around 290 000
rows). The new query is roughly 2x as fast as the old query.
