This class implements a polling mechanism for PullRequests that tries to only return new or updated pull requests to a bot and guaranteeing that none are missed. The goal is to minimize unnecessary evaluations that currently take place, especially when polling Gitlab. I have added quite a few tests to verify (almost) all the functionality of the poller. For a more detailed explanation of all the challenges this poller faces, see the bug description.

I will followup with further conversions of other bots. I'm also touching the `CSRIssueBot` to introduce the same kind of error handling with retry that the new `PullRequestPoller` implements. I hadn't realized before that this error handling was missing in the CSRBots, and to be able to implement it properly for the `CSRPullRequestBot`, I had to also add the support for the issue polling `CSRIssueBot`.

This includes the `GitHubPullrequest`, `GitLabMergeRequest` and all the JSON types. For test code this also includes the `TestPullRequest` and `TestIssue` and their related data classes.

This better simulates how new instances are always created when `PullRequest`s are queried from a remote `Forge`. The existing bot tests don't need it, but without this, it's not possible to verify the behavior of the poller. I tried a lot of different ways of implementing clone/copy (Object.clone(), copy constructor and specialized copy methods), but what I have here is what I think worked best in the end, with the least impact on existing code.

Removing draft. This is now ready for review, but depends on SKARA-1589.
