Once we migrate existing MRs to have this column, we will be able to get the
latest diff for a single merge request more efficiently, and (more importantly)
get all latest diffs for a collection of MRs efficiently.

We already had this the other way around (merge_request_diffs.merge_request_id),
but this is needed to gather only the most recent diffs for a set of merge
requests.
