Azure DevOps Work Item autolinks point to wrong project when Work Item belongs to a different project

[danielasher115]

Description

When a commit message contains a Work Item reference (e.g., #1234), the autolink URL incorrectly uses the repository's project in the URL path. However, Azure DevOps Work Items are organization-scoped and can belong to any project within the organization, not just the project containing the repository.

Expected Behavior

Work Item autolinks should use an organization-level URL (e.g., https://dev.azure.com/org/_workitems/edit/1234) which correctly redirects to the Work Item regardless of which project it belongs to.

Actual Behavior

Work Item autolinks currently use a project-scoped URL (e.g., https://dev.azure.com/org/ProjectA/_workitems/edit/1234), which fails or shows the wrong item when the Work Item actually belongs to a different project (e.g., ProjectB).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have an Azure DevOps organization with multiple projects
2. Create a Work Item in Project B
3. Make a commit in a repository in Project A that references the Work Item (e.g., Fixes #1234)
4. Hover over the commit message in GitLens
5. Click the Work Item link

Verification steps

Make sure that the following project base urls form the following patterns:

• https://{org}.visualstudio.com/{project}/_git/{repo} -> https://{org}.visualstudio.com/_workitems/edit/<num>
• https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}/_git/{repo} -> https://dev.azure.com/{org}/_workitems/edit/<num>
• https://{selfhosted-host}/{collection}/{project}/_git/{repo} -> https://{selfhosted-host}/{collection}/_workitems/edit/<num>

Also make sure that AzureDevOps redirects it to the right issue or PR:

• https://{org}.visualstudio.com/_workitems/edit/{num} -> https://{org}.visualstudio.com/{project}/_workitems/edit/{num}
• https://dev.azure.com/{org}/_workitems/edit/{num} -> https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}/_workitems/edit/{num}
• https://{selfhosted-host}/{collection}/_workitems/edit/<num> -> https://{selfhosted-host}/{collection}/{project}/_workitems/edit/{num}
