Provide more sensible default sort order for issues and merge requests
based on the following table:
| type | state | default sort order |
|----------------|--------|--------------------|
| issues | open | last created |
| issues | closed | last updated |
| issues | all | last created |
| merge requests | open | last created |
| merge requests | merged | last updated |
| merge requests | closed | last updated |
| merge requests | all | last created |

For testing I used the URL http://localhost:3000/groups/gitlab-org/issues?milestone_title=8.1. Prior to these changes said URL would take about 10-12 seconds to load. By applying these changes the loading time has been reduced to roughly 2-3 seconds.
There's still some stuff going on in some views that I have to look at, resolving those changes might reduce the loading time a bit more. I also still have to check if I didn't break too many tests.
Fixes: gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#3707 gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#4071

Sorting by "id" has the same effect as sorting by created_at while
performing far better and without the need of an extra index (in case
one wanted to speed up sorting by "created_at").
Sorting by "Recently updated" still uses the physical "updated_at"
column as there's no way to use the "id" column for this instead.
