Previously, our `required_groups` check was indiscriminately unblocking
users whenever the condition was met. This was problematic because it
interfered with manually blocked users, as well as users blocked
because they were automatically set up.

Now we only unblock `ldap_blocked`, since those are the ones that could
have been blocked due to `required_groups`.

In the future we might introduce `saml_blocked` users for clarity, but
that might require a data migration.

Clean up unicorn sampler metric labels

Closes #56788

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!24626

dbf7978b introduced a regression where protected branches and tags
could only be added if the user getting access to push or merge was a
direct member of the project. However, this does not consider that
team members can gain access to a project via group membership. Fix this
by checking the user has any access within the team.
