Marcel Amirault 73c6477b7e Changing badges to use parentheses not brackets
Previously, we used brackets to denote the tier badges,
but this made Kramdown, the docs site Markdown renderer,
show many warnings when building the site. This is now
fixed by using parentheses instead of square brackets.

This was caused by [PREMIUM] looking like a link to
Kramdown, which couldn't find a URL there.

Issue Weight (STARTER)

Introduced in GitLab Starter 8.3.

When you have a lot of issues, it can be hard to get an overview. By adding a weight to each issue, you can get a better idea of how much time, value or complexity a given issue has or will cost.

You can set the weight of an issue during its creation, by simply changing the value in the dropdown menu. You can set it to a non-negative integer value from 0, 1, 2, and so on. (The database stores a 4-byte value, so the upper bound is essentially limitless). You can remove weight from an issue as well.

This value will appear on the right sidebar of an individual issue, as well as in the issues page next to a distinctive balance scale icon.

As an added bonus, you can see the total sum of all issues on the milestone page.
