Always refetch gitlab merge request data after mutation

Administrator requested to merge es/gitlab-refetch into main

Created by: eseliger

Whenever we modify the merge request on the codehost, there will potentially be new pipelines, new notes or changes to the MR itself. Before this change, sometimes after a reconciler action the UI state was inconsistent at first, like CI status not reported correctly for example. This synchronizes the behavior with what we do for GitHub. Nuance: GitHub allows us through graphql to get all the fields we need from a single GraphQL query whereas for GitLab it'll be multiple. I believe that is fine though, because

  • we don't have another way around it
  • for GitHub we consume 3-4 rate limit tokens with one request, so GitLab with 3 requests as well won't be standing out really
