Only id/url are used. SetIssueFieldValues returns MinimalResponse{ID, URL}, so the extra IssueFieldValues selections were dead weight. Replacing it with a simpler type.

SetIssueFieldValues is exported so projects, calls it directly. Also the mutation call is extracted into SetIssueFieldValues so both set_issue_fields (issues) and update_project_item (projects) can use it, with the flagged ctx.
