Resolve "Move `/licenses` api endpoint to `/templates/licenses`"

## What does this MR do?

It moves the `/licenses`, `/gitignores` and `/gitlab_ci_ymls` API endpoints under the `/templates` namespace

## Why was this MR needed?

In EE we now have somewhat ambiguous API endpoints. `/license` refers to the EE license while `/licenses` (plural) refers to license templates. @DouweM mentioned that we're adding .gitignore templates in #14106 so it may make sense to add a /templates namespace. Then, move the /license templates endpoint to be underneath, along with .gitignore endpoints. 

Closes #17541

Use activerecord_sane_schema_dumper

## What does this MR do?

> `ActiveRecord::SaneSchemaDumper` modifies the behavior of Rails’ `ActiveRecord::SchemaDumper` so that the generated `db/schema.rb` file doesn’t contain any useless/harmful whitespace column alignment.

## Why was this MR needed?

To reduce potential conflicts in `db/schema.rb` (see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/715).

See merge request !6827

As discussed in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab_git/issues/28 we'll
need to clearly document the need for .gitattributes files being encoded
using UTF-8.

API: New /users/:id/events endpoint

## What does this MR do?

If add a new `/users/:id/events` endpoint to retrieve a user's contribution events. The events returned are filtered so that only the events for projects that the current user can see are returned (similarly to what we do at the controller level).

## Why was this MR needed?

Because it's a nice feature to calculate leaderboards, for instance for #17815.

## What are the relevant issue numbers?

Closes #20866.

API: Share projects only with groups current_user can access

Aims to address the issues here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23004

* Projects can be shared with non-existent groups
* Projects can be shared with groups that the current user does not have access to read

Concerns:

The new implementation of the API endpoint allows projects to be shared with a larger range of groups than can be done via the web UI.

The form for sharing a project with a group uses the following API endpoint to index the available groups: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/494269fc92f61098ee6bd635a0426129ce2c5456/lib/api/groups.rb#L17. The groups indexed in the web form will only be those groups that the user is currently a member of.

The new implementation allows projects to be shared with any group that the authenticated user has access to view. This widens the range of groups to those that are public and internal.
