<title>Better caching and indexing of broadcast messages</title>

Caching of BroadcastMessage instances has been changed so a cache stays
valid as long as the default cache expiration time permits, instead of
the cache being expired after 1 minute. When modifying broadcast
messages the cache is flushed automatically.

To remove the need for performing sequence scans on the
"broadcast_messages" table we also add an index on (starts_at, ends_at,
id), permitting PostgreSQL to use an index scan to get all necessary
data.

Finally this commit adds a few NOT NULL constraints to the table to
match the Rails validations.

Fixes gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#31706

This changes various controllers to use the new EventCollection class
for retrieving events. This class uses a JOIN LATERAL query on
PostgreSQL to retrieve queries in a more efficient way, while falling
back to a simpler / less efficient query for MySQL.

The EventCollection class also includes a limit on the number of events
to display to prevent malicious users from cycling through all events,
as doing so could put a lot of pressure on the database.

JOIN LATERAL is only supported on PostgreSQL starting with version 9.3.0
and as such this optimisation is only used when using PostgreSQL 9.3 or
newer.

<title>Migrate events into a new format</title>

This commit migrates events data in such a way that push events are
stored much more efficiently. This is done by creating a shadow table
called "events_for_migration", and a table called "push_event_payloads"
which is used for storing push data of push events. The background
migration in this commit will copy events from the "events" table into
the "events_for_migration" table, push events in will also have a row
created in "push_event_payloads".

This approach allows us to reclaim space in the next release by simply
swapping the "events" and "events_for_migration" tables, then dropping
the old events (now "events_for_migration") table.

The new table structure is also optimised for storage space, and does
not include the unused "title" column nor the "data" column (since this
data is moved to "push_event_payloads").

== Newly Created Events

Newly created events are inserted into both "events" and
"events_for_migration", both using the exact same primary key value. The
table "push_event_payloads" in turn has a foreign key to the _shadow_
table. This removes the need for recreating and validating the foreign
key after swapping the tables. Since the shadow table also has a foreign
key to "projects.id" we also don't have to worry about orphaned rows.

This approach however does require some additional storage as we're
duplicating a portion of the events data for at least 1 release. The
exact amount is hard to estimate, but for GitLab.com this is expected to
be between 10 and 20 GB at most. The background migration in this commit
deliberately does _not_ update the "events" table as doing so would put
a lot of pressure on PostgreSQL's auto vacuuming system.

== Supporting Both Old And New Events

Application code has also been adjusted to support push events using
both the old and new data formats. This is done by creating a PushEvent
class which extends the regular Event class. Using Rails' Single Table
Inheritance system we can ensure the right class is used for the right
data, which in this case is based on the value of `events.action`. To
support displaying old and new data at the same time the PushEvent class
re-defines a few methods of the Event class, falling back to their
original implementations for push events in the old format.

Once all existing events have been migrated the various push event
related methods can be removed from the Event model, and the calls to
`super` can be removed from the methods in the PushEvent model.

The UI and event atom feed have also been slightly changed to better
handle this new setup, fortunately only a few changes were necessary to
make this work.

== API Changes

The API only displays push data of events in the new format. Supporting
both formats in the API is a bit more difficult compared to the UI.
Since the old push data was not really well documented (apart from one
example that used an incorrect "action" nmae) I decided that supporting
both was not worth the effort, especially since events will be migrated
in a few days _and_ new events are created in the correct format.

ApplicationSetting instances are cached. We also add some NOT NULL
