    Refactor how a few ActiveRecord enums are defined · 590ff80f

    In a few models we define ActiveRecord enums that are redefined in EE
    using the following pattern:
    
        enum :some_enum, {
          ...
        }.merge(EE_ENUM_VALUES)
    
    This particular approach is problematic to deal with, because it
    requires that we `prepend` and EE module _before_ defining the enum.
    This typically translates to the `prepend` being the first line in the
    model in EE, but this can easily lead to merge conflicts when developers
    add more `include` and/or `prepend` lines.
    
    As part of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8244 and
    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/8241 we are moving
    `prepend` to the last line in a file, reducing the chances of running
    into merge conflicts. This poses a bit of a problem with the pattern
    above, because this pattern does not allow us to move the `prepend`
    further down a file.
    
    To resolve this problem, we simply move the Hash value of the enum to a
    separate class method. This method is defined in a separate module where
    necessary, allowing us to use it like so:
    
        enum :failure_reasons, ::SomeModelEnums.failure_reasons
    
    The method in turn is defined in a very straightforward manner:
    
        module SomeModelEnums
          def self.failure_reasons
            {
              ...
            }
          end
        end
    
    This makes it easy for EE to add values without requiring the `prepend`
    to be placed before the `enum` is defined.
