Fix compatibility with Internet Explorer 11 for merge requests

## What does this MR do?
This merge request restores the compatibility with Internet Explorer 11.

## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
No.

## Why was this MR needed?
Commit ca3c0c6c introduced an incompatibility with Internet Explorer 11. On all merge requests in all projects the 'Changes' tab does not display the changes in IE11 but instead fails with 'Something went wrong on our end'. The reason ist, that this code snipped produces different results on Firefox and Internet Explorer 11:

```
var element = document.createElement('a');
element.href = '/some/absolute/url';
alert(element.pathname);
```

With Internet Explorer 11 the alert will print a relative path, whereas with Firefox the alert will print an absolute path. For GitLab this meant that a wrong AJAX URL was composed which resulted in a 404.

## Screenshots (if relevant)
None.

Pipelines tabs

## What does this MR do?
Changes the URL when the builds tab is clicked making it possible to be shared.

1. Adds a standard way to handle linked tabs:
    *   This behaviour is already present in the merge requests, commit and user `show` page. 
    *    This MR introduces a reusable way to accomplish this behaviour for pages with static content.

2. Adds test:
    *   For the linked tabs reusable class
    *  For the pipelines tabs

## Why was this MR needed?
To allow having a sharable URL that represented the opened tab

Resolve "Highlighting lines is broken"

Add line highlighting back to diff view.  This was working in the MR "changes" tab, but not on a commit page such as https://gitlab.com/winniehell/reproduction-area/commit/9101e66f5761929002956e0f2dd65d7f8643903d

~~This MR also fixes the `scrollToElement` method in `MergeRequestTabs` to account for the extra height of the tab links which are now fixed in place once they are scrolled to the top of the screen.~~ (removed in favor of !7051)

This MR also refactors much of the `Diff` and `MergeRequestTabs` classes to es6 syntax in an effort to increase readability.

Check out both MR "change" tabs and commit diff pages and ensure that line highlighting works and that loading a page with one of these permalink hashes correctly highlights and scrolls to the line.

Ensure I didn't break anything in the transition to es6 syntax.  Check the functionality of the tabs on MR pages, as well as diff page interactivity (unfolding hidden lines in diff files, adding comments to diffs, etc).  I have checked these myself, but another set of eyes would be a good idea.

Pass commit data to ProcessCommitWorker

This changes `ProcessCommitWorker` so that it takes a Hash containing commit data instead of a commit SHA. This means the worker doesn't have to access Git just to process a commit message (and other data it may use). This in turn should solve the problem of ending up with 15 000-something jobs in the `process_commit` queue that take forever to process.

Allow dots in group names to pass validation for Create Group and Edit Group forms

## What does this MR do?
Allows dots within group names to pass form validation when creating or editing a group.

## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
Nope, pretty straight forward.

## Why was this MR needed?
Although group names with dots are allowed, our frontend validation mistakenly invalidates them

Make deleting with optimistic locking respect NULL

Make deleting with optimistic locking respect NULL

For now deleting with optimistic locking is broken when
lock_version is still NULL, because Rails would try to
delete with `lock_version = 0` while in the database
the column is still `NULL`.

The monkey patches would force Rails just pass whatever
in the column, and stop Rails from casting `NULL` into `0`
when the value is read from database.

Fixed issue boards issue sorting when dragging issue into list

## What does this MR do?

Currently it just appends the new issue to the end of list & then sorts by priority which can cause some strange effects. For example if you drag the issue to the top of the list & then vue re-renders, the issue actually goes to the bottom.

This changes that by adding the issue at the specific index.
