Method getEpicIssues of EpicsApi should return List<Issue> not List<Epic>

[hsebouai]

Right now the ability to retrieve a given epic issues have the following signature:

public List<Epic> getEpicIssues(Object groupIdOrPath, Long epicIid) throws GitLabApiException 

Even if right now the serialization is working because the Epic model is composed of all the properties that we receive when de-serializing, It does not make sense that we return a list of epics rather that list of issues.

Furthermore, we loose all the pertinent information that an issue exposes like the project_id, assignees, type, ... and so on.

I think this is a duplicate of #729

And good news this should be fixed in 6.0.0-rc.2 and 5.3.0 that were released today.

• 5.3.0 requires Java 8 as minimal version and using a Jersey version using javax.* packages (for servlet, jaxrs and similar).
• 6.0.0-rc.2 requires Java 11 as minimal version and using a Jersey version using jakarta.* packages (for servlet, jaxrs and similar).

Please check again and re-open if you need something additional.
