Allow integration with Gitlab Service Account

Currently it doesn't appear that there is a way to integrate ClickUp using a Gitlab Service Account, but this would be helpful to shift actions to the Service Account rather than an individual.

I hope Clickup team puts this into work soon as there are multiple issues with user-authorized integration:
- Clickup links issues by commenting on MRs as the user who authorized the integration, which subscribes the user to an MR, meaning that all comments and activity will be emailed by default.
- It's a bad practice from the security standpoint.
- It makes user offboarding more complicated: as the integration is tied to Gitlab user's account, it will stop working once the user account is deactivated on Gitlab.
Using project/group access tokens to authorize Clickup to communicate with Gitlab API deals with all these concerns.

This would be great to have indeed. Currently, the "task linked" replies to GitLab MRs appear to be coming from individuals rather than a ClickUp service account or bot. For reference, we use Renovate with a GitLab Group Access Token which works great (https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/platform/gitlab/).

Having separate non personal account for the integration would make the whole workflow much easier and less confusing.
