This adds counters for build artifacts and LFS objects, and moves
the preexisting repository_size and commit_count from the projects
table into a new project_statistics table.

The counters are displayed in the administration area for projects
and groups, and also available through the API for admins (on */all)
and normal users (on */owned)

The statistics are updated through ProjectCacheWorker, which can now
do more granular updates with the new :statistics argument.

The button allows to choose a ".gitlab-ci.yml" template that automatically
sets up the deployment of an application.
The currently supported template is Kubernetes template.

This commit introduces the concept of deployment variables - variables
that are collected from deployment services and passed to CI runner
during a deployment build.
Deployment services specify the variables by overriding
"predefined_variables" method.

This commit also configures variables for KubernetesService

* add parent_id field to namespaces table to store relation with nested groups
* create routes table to keep information about full path of every group and project
* project/group lookup by full path from routes table

Replace issue access checks with use of IssuableFinder

Split from !2024 to partially solve https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23867

## Which fixes are in this MR?

⚠ - Potentially untested  
💣 - No test coverage  
🚥 - Test coverage of some sort exists (a test failed when error raised)  
🚦 - Test coverage of return value (a test failed when nil used)  
✅ - Permissions check tested

### Issue lookup with access check

Using `visible_to_user` likely makes these security issues too. See [Code smells](#code-smells).
