Implements the client side for gitlab-org/gitaly#819. Which is a server
info command. This checks the server version and git binairy version on
the server.

A small UI was added for administrators, so they can check the status of
the Gitaly server. This is done for each storage the monolith knows.

Because of this commit, gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!15580 is now closed. That
MR removed the Git version too, but didn't replace it with anything.

for parser which is emitting:

```
warning: parser/current is loading parser/ruby23, which recognizes
warning: 2.3.5-compliant syntax, but you are running 2.3.6.
warning: please see https://github.com/whitequark/parser#compatibility-with-ruby-mri.
```

There's no easy way to disable this, and we're already using the
latest version. This should be harmless anyway.
