Pass `--load-images=no` to PhantomJS via Capybara/Poltergeist

We were unintentionally hitting `gravatar.com` whenever a test that used
Poltergeist was run. This was certainly wasting their resources and
slowing down our tests even further, for no reason.

Speed up Project security access specs

Prior, every single test was creating four `ProjectMember` objects, each
of which created one `User` record, even though each test only used
_one_ of those Users, if any.

Now each test only creates the single user record it needs, if it needs
one. This shaves minutes off of each spec file changed here.

Refresh project authorizations using a Redis lease

This MR changes `User#refresh_authorized_projects` so it uses a Redis lease instead of relying on serializable transactions. See the commit message(s) for more details.

Update GitLab Workhorse to v1.0.1

v1.0.0 was wrongly tagged, causing compiled gitlab-workhorse binaries to misreport their version number.

Allow dots in group names to pass validation for Create Group and Edit Group forms

## What does this MR do?
Allows dots within group names to pass form validation when creating or editing a group.

## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
Nope, pretty straight forward.

## Why was this MR needed?
Although group names with dots are allowed, our frontend validation mistakenly invalidates them

Slash commands improvements

With events no longer being cached this is no longer needed.

When I proposed using serializable transactions I was hoping we would be
able to refresh data of individual users concurrently. Unfortunately
upon closer inspection it was revealed this was not the case. This could
result in a lot of queries failing due to serialization errors,
overloading the database in the process (given enough workers trying to
update the target table).

To work around this we're now using a Redis lease that is cancelled upon
completion. This ensures we can update the data of different users
concurrently without overloading the database.

The code will try to obtain the lease until it succeeds, waiting at
least 1 second between retries. This is necessary as we may otherwise
end up _not_ updating the data which is not an option.

Resolve "Reduce queries in API::Helpers#find_project"

See merge request !7714

For example, now we support `/gitlab issue show #1`. Where the # used
to trip the regex.

Improve how we could cancel pipelines:

Improve how we could cancel pipelines:

* Introduce `HasStatus.cancelable` which we might be able to cancel
* Cancel and check upon `cancelable`
* Also cancel on `CommitStatus` rather than just `Ci::Build`
