Introducing the concept of SafeDiffs which relates 
diffs with UI highlighting.

Remove delay when hitting Reply... button on page with a lot of comments

Every time the "Reply..." button was hit, a new `GLForm` was instantiated (which is fine), which would then call `GitLab.GfmAutoComplete.setup()` without specifying which textarea we needed autocompletion on, which resulted in `GitLab.GfmAutoComplete.setup` iterating through every single textarea on the page. On a page with a lot of comments, where each comment would have its own textarea that will be used to edit the comment, this would take a long time and cause the whole page to hang for 2 seconds when a  "Reply..." button was clicked.

Redirect to external issue tracker from `/issues`

Prior, in order to display the correct link to "Issues" in the project
navigation, we were performing a check against the project to see if it
used an external issue tracker, and if so, we used that URL. This was
inefficient.

Now, we simply _always_ link to `namespace_project_issues_path`, and
then in the controller we redirect to the external tracker if it's
present.

This also removes the need for the `url_for_issue` helper. Bonus! 🎉

Speedup DiffNote#active? on discussions, preloading noteables and avoid touching git repository to return diff_refs when possible

- Preloading noteable we share the same noteable instance when more than one 
discussion refers to the same noteable.
- Any other call to that object that is cached in that object will be for any 
discussion.
- In those cases where merge_request_diff has all the sha stored to build a diff_refs get that 
diff_refs using directly those sha instead accessing to the git repository to first get the 
commits and later the sha.
