Introduce versioned GitLab migration class
This introduces a versioned parent class for database migrations. This implements a simple versioning scheme for migration helpers. We need to be able to version helpers, so we can change their behavior without altering the behavior of already existing migrations in incompatible ways. We can continue to change the behavior of helpers without bumping the version here, *if* the change is backwards-compatible. If not, we would typically override the helper method in a new MigrationHelpers::V[0-9]+ class and create a new entry with a bumped version below. We use major version bumps to indicate significant changes and minor version bumps to indicate backwards-compatible or otherwise minor changes (e.g. a Rails version bump). However, this hasn't been strictly formalized yet. Changelog: other
