1. This flag is used in conjunction with the "Developers can Merge"
   branch permission, to allow a user to merge MRs without push access
   to a branch.

2. Without this flag set, the user doesn't have access to the protected
   branch, and the merge fails.

3. This flag was previously set for the `Repository#merge` method, but
   not the `Repository#ff_merge` method.

Allow syncing a group against all providers at once

## What does this MR do?

Allows `Sync::Group` to sync members for a single group across all providers at once. Closes #399 

## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

No

## Why was this MR needed?

The current implementation of LDAP group sync manages members based on a single LDAP provider. This is optimal because we can open a single connection to a given LDAP server (provider) and run all queries needed to sync all GitLab groups with links to that provider. If we want to sync a single group at a time we need to flip that model - for a single group, run the sync for all providers. 

This presents a few challenges since we have a state machine on the group. In the former/current model we need to set the state inside the loop. However, if we do that in the latter model we will likely run into a race condition. At least, it will execute unnecessary queries against the database. Other than adding the functionality needed to sync a single group, the MR moves the state machine handling to the respective class method.

Optimize commit and diff changes access check to reduce git operations

Closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/880

See merge request !647

Git operations are costly. Before, if file locks and all file locks were
enabled we would iterate over each commit twice and over each diff as much
as 4 times. This updates uses lambdas to go through all neccessary validations
in only one iteration per commit and per diff. It also removes some unused
code in lib/gitlab/git_access.rb and adds examples to ensure the code keeps
working as intended.

[ES] Record deletion fix

Specs for deletion are in MR https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/654/diffs that is built on top of this MR. I've made it in a separate MR because there is complex stuff left to do. We need another docker image where elastic has plugin `delete-by-query`

No changelog item required because the bug was introduced in master a few days ago by https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/615

Don't show comment button in gutter of diffs on MR discussion tab

When browsing to an MR, switching to the Changes tab, and switching back to the Discussions tab, the gutter of the diffs on that page would show the comment button on-hover, while it shouldn't, since comments on new lines can only be created from the Changes tab.
