Test if remote repository exists before cloning

Closes #43929 and gitaly#1084

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!18017

We displayed the correct text as the link text (without double-encoding), but
didn't do the same for the actual link target, so any link containing an
ampersand would break when auto-linked.

Drop JSON support from Projects::MilestonesController#show

Closes #33803

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!17977

This will use the same query as `\di` to find an index on postgresql.

This will speed up the LIKE query in
RedirectRoute.matching_path_and_descendants

Since the `permanent` column is not there anymore, we don't need to
create these indexes.

Removes permanent redirects, this means that redirects will only be
possible as long as the old route isn't taken by a new project/group.

This removes the column that was added in
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/15670 since we
will no longer be allowing _permanent_ redirects
