Code Review backlog labelling and refinement

Goal

Triage the groupcode review backlog to meet the goals outlined in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/558111 and gitlab-org/core-devops/internal-discussions#7.

For each epic and issue:

  • Apply backlogprospective to all issues that are in progress or still relevant for the next 12-18 months
  • For other issues, apply backlogno-commitment or close them as Won't do (use the custom status)
