- Ensure that unwanted params are no passed to actual finder classes

When commiting multiple files we're now checking if any of those files
has been modified by another commit and we're rejecting the new commit
in this case.

Previously, this would include the entire User record in the update
hash, which was rendered in the response using `to_json`, erroneously
exposing every attribute of that record, including their (now removed)
private token.

Now we only include the user ID, and perform the lookup on-demand.

Fix spec failures in spec/lib/gitlab/git/gitlab_projects_spec.rb
