Track Sentry Issue Merges in Activity Tab

[gid-sentry]

Problem Statement

Sometimes Sentry will merge issues or at least mark issues as merged in the Merged Issues tab, without user interaction. In those cases, it can be hard to find out why the issues were merged and there's no entry in the activity tab about how the fingerprints ended up being merged.

Solution Brainstorm

If there is a heuristic for Sentry to auto-merge issues, make sure it is tracked in the activity tab to be able to track and understand what happened.

After my analysis on Slack, I found that this is not applicable.

I will follow up in #proj-grouping on how to prevent this from happening.
