Redirect to external issue tracker from /issues

Prior, in order to display the correct link to "Issues" in the project
navigation, we were performing a check against the project to see if it
used an external issue tracker, and if so, we used that URL. This was
inefficient.

Now, we simply _always_ link to `namespace_project_issues_path`, and
then in the controller we redirect to the external tracker if it's
present.

This also removes the need for the url_for_issue helper. Bonus! 🎉
