Rename ENV['PROTOCOL'] to ENV['GL_PROTOCOL'] to conform to what GitLab Shell expects and make the `protocol` param in `GitAccess` mandatory.

If a site specifies a relative URL root, emoji files would omit the path from
the URL, leading to lots of 404s.

Closes #15642

This stands as an alternative to using OAuth to access a user's Github
repositories.  This is setup in such a way that it can be used without OAuth
configuration.

From a UI perspective, the how to import modal has been replaced by a full
page, which includes a form for posting a personal access token back to the
Import::GithubController.

If the user has logged in via GitHub, skip the Personal Access Token and go
directly to Github for an access token via OAuth.

If Redis were not running or USE_DB were set to false, the
application settings retrieval would fail completely. This
change only attempts to use the cache if the system actually
wants to connect to the DB and rescues any failures in talking to
Redis.

Closes #17557

No reason to split it into a separate gem when the gem barely did anything. We can use gemojione directly, making updating gemojione that much easier.

Also fix the Rake task and update gemojione to 2.6.1. This adds the EmojiOne Spring update.

Changelog: https://github.com/jonathanwiesel/gemojione/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Fixed privilege escalation issue where manually set external users would be reverted back to internal users if they logged in via OAuth and that provider was not in the `external_providers` list.

Process.clock_gettime allows getting the real time in nanoseconds as
well as allowing one to get a monotonic timestamp. This offers greater
accuracy without the overhead of having to allocate a Time instance. In
general using Time.now/Time.new is about 2x slower than using
Process.clock_gettime(). For example:

    require 'benchmark/ips'

    Benchmark.ips do |bench|
      bench.report 'Time.now' do
        Time.now.to_f
      end

      bench.report 'clock_gettime' do
        Process.clock_gettime(Process::CLOCK_MONOTONIC, :millisecond)
      end

      bench.compare!
    end

Running this benchmark gives:

    Calculating -------------------------------------
                Time.now   108.052k i/100ms
           clock_gettime   125.984k i/100ms
    -------------------------------------------------
                Time.now      2.343M (± 7.1%) i/s -     11.670M
           clock_gettime      4.979M (± 0.8%) i/s -     24.945M

    Comparison:
           clock_gettime:  4979393.8 i/s
                Time.now:  2342986.8 i/s - 2.13x slower

Another benefit of using Process.clock_gettime() is that we can simplify
the code a bit since it can give timestamps in nanoseconds out of the
box.

In any case if just want the value which is always ‘gitlab’

require 'benchmark/ips'

Project.first # To load database things
GitlabIssueTrackerService.first # To load database things

Benchmark.ips do |x|
  x.config(:time => 5, :warmup => 2)

  x.report("current") do
    Project.new.default_issue_tracker.to_param
  end

  x.report("") do
    'gitlab'
  end

  x.compare!
end

Calculating -------------------------------------
             current     4.000  i/100ms
                        30.938k i/100ms
-------------------------------------------------
             current     47.298  (±10.6%) i/s -    232.000

Depends on the changes in Workhorse (gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse!48).
