Update Jira integration to use "Parent" instead of "Parent Link"

Who would benefit?

Anyone using Jira integrations

What impact would it make?

"Parent Link" and "Epic Link" fields have been replaced by a new "Parent" field in Jira. By recognizing this new field, integrations will not break and can use the new functionality.

How should it work?

    The Jira integration has been updated to use the new "Parent" fields in Jira. You may still see "Parent link" in integration mappings, but the fields are mapped correctly.

    This is a must since Jira updated this field. Without it, our stories aren't updating if we switch the Epic it's tied to. We'd like a way to be able to keep the current integration link and information for Epics even if we update the field (or have an easy way to mass update those).
