We accept half a dozen different authentication mechanisms for
Git over HTTP. Fairly high in the list we were checking user
password, which would also query LDAP. In the case of LFS,
OAuth tokens or personal access tokens, we were unnecessarily
hitting LDAP when the authentication will not succeed. This
was causing some LDAP/AD systems to lock the account. Now,
user password authentication is the last mechanism tried since
it's the most expensive.

Fixed extra margin when the merge request tabs are affixed

This was caused by some weird padding that was on the container & then
not correctly removed.

The fix involved removing the container from inside the tabs holder div
& then adding the widths through CSS depending on if fixed & whether the
parent is limited width or not.

In reality out container classes need to be fixed as it is getting pretty un-managable at the moment this should of been an easy fix, but in reality turned into something much harder.

Closes #26853

When there was no project, no search, and no current user or author
param, the AutocompleteController would call `#uniq!` on a relation
instead of an array. This performed the less-efficient `SELECT DISTINCT`
when it wasn't even needed (because the query wouldn't return duplicates
anyway - duplicates were only added by putting a user on top of the
list).
