In the specs, we don't actually check the values shown in the UI, but
directly check the backend data. We need to look at the uncached values
since the cached values expire after a minute.

The introduction of the in-memory cache for application settings had a
side effect of making it harder to invalidate changes when the settings
occur. We now bypass the cache because it's possible the admin enabled
the usage ping, and we don't want to annoy the user again if they
already set the value.

To avoid causing significant load on the system, we add an extra check
to ensure the user is an admin. and we don't want to annoy the user
again if they already set the value. This is a bit of hack, but the
alternative would be to put in a more complex cache invalidation
step. Since this call only gets called in the uncommon situation where
the user is an admin and the only user in the instance, this shouldn't
cause too much load on the system.

The /admin panel will now always return an uncached
application setting to ensure it always has the most
current info.

Loading `ApplicationSetting` from Redis was responsible for at least 50%
of the CPU load of the Redis cluster on GitLab.com. Since these values
generally don't change very much, we can load this from the database and
cache it in memory, skipping Redis altogther. We use
`ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore` as a drop-in replacement for
`RedisCacheStore` even though we probably don't need synchronized access
within `Thread.current`.
