Fix broken commit metadata loading for large repository trees

## What does this MR do?

Fixes a regression introduced in !7208 in which a call to `ajaxGet()` would fail when loading metadata for large repository trees.

This call produced no errors in the console because it is contained in a sort of `eval` block in jQuery.  This is an ugly, easily broken method for loading data asynchronously whose problems were exemplified by this issue.  I'm opening a separate issue (#24660) to alter this implementation.

## Why was this MR needed?

The failing AJAX call was causing metadata to stop loading, and the `timeago` functionality to stop running due to script failure.

Use `Gitlab.config.gitlab.host` over `'localhost'`

Use `Gitlab.config.gitlab.host` over `'localhost'`

This would fix long standing failures running tests on
my development machine, which set `Gitlab.config.gitlab.host`
to another host because it's not my local computer. Now I
finally cannot withstand it and decided to fix them once and
for all.

add parsing support for incoming html email

## What does this MR do?
Fixes #18388 by adding support for parsing HTML email

## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
The new class, Gitlab::Email::HTMLParser, which needs to translate the HTML content to text and also delete replies, as they are not necessarily in the correct format to be caught by EmailReplyParser. The solution I found that should work for any HTML-formatted email is to remove all `<table>` and `<blockquote>` tags. Actual `<table>` elements (to be interpreted by markdown) should already be encoded with e.g. `&lt;table&gt;` - the only failure mode is if there is an *actual* HTML table in the content itself, which we wouldn't be able to support easily anyways.

The gem `html2text` traverses the HTML tree and outputs text - and markdown in the case of HTML links or images.

Resolve "spec/lib/gitlab/backend/shell_spec.rb causes other specs to fail"

## What does this MR do?

It ensures we rely on `Gitlab::Shell`'s public API and not on its internal. Since `Gitlab::Shell` is caching the value of its token, the only way to get the correct token is to call `Gitlab::Shell.secret_token`, not to read the `Gitlab.config.gitlab_shell.secret_file` file!

We need to handle annotated tags that are created via GitLab UI.
Annotated tags have their own SHA. We have to pass this SHA to
post-receive hook to mirror what happens when someone creates
an annotated tag in their local repository and pushes it via
command line.
In order to obtain tag SHA we first have to create it. This is
a bit confusing because we create the tag before executing
pre-hooks, but there is no way to create a tag outside the
repository. If pre-hooks fail we have to clean up after ourselves.

Remove race condition while deleting groups

## What does this MR do?

The intended flow during a group deletion is:

```
  Soft-delete group (sync) -> Delete group projects (async) -> Hard-delete group (async)
```

The soft-delete was run in a transaction, which was committed only after
the async job (for hard-deletion) was kicked off. There was a race
condition here - the soft-delete transaction could complete _after_ the
hard delete completed, leaving a soft-deleted record in the database.

This MR removes this race condition. There is no need to run the
soft-delete in a transaction. The soft-delete completes before the async
job is kicked off.

This MR also adds a migration to delete all existing (soft-deleted) groups left in an inconsistent state
due to this bug.
