Logging when a task has been marked as a blocker

Description

Reported upstream: https://secure.phabricator.com/T6884

Steps to reproduce:

create ticket T1
create T2
open the page for T1, click "edit blocking tags"
add T2 as blocker

Expected results: there will be a record on the T1 page telling who and when added the blocker, and a similar record on the T2 page for the dependency.

Actual results:

T1 logs "(someone) added a blocking task: T2:...". A notification is created (needs testing on web and email)
However, T2 doesn't log anything and its subscribers will miss the event.

The same happens when removing blockers.

I haven't found anything, although this screenshot in T5751 suggests that this is fixed upstream.

Tested with https://phab-01.wmflabs.org/T331 and https://phab-01.wmflabs.org/T332

Everything seems to work fine in the task being blocked (we still need to test the notifications, but I think they work). The problem lies in the blocker task, where no event is registered.

This is also a regression from Bugzilla, where both tasks would be identified as blocker/blocking.

My https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/notification/ seems to notify when a blocking task has been closed, but in my history right now I don't have any notification for the event of a task being marked as blocked by another one. Further test and feedback is welcome before submitting the task upstream.
