This is intended to prevent the user from creating new objects while the
transaction that removes them is being run, resulting in objects with
nil authors which can then not be edited.

Improve performance of getting issues on group level
For testing I used the URL http://localhost:3000/groups/gitlab-org/issues?milestone_title=8.1. Prior to these changes said URL would take about 10-12 seconds to load. By applying these changes the loading time has been reduced to roughly 2-3 seconds.
There's still some stuff going on in some views that I have to look at, resolving those changes might reduce the loading time a bit more. I also still have to check if I didn't break too many tests.

Sorting by "id" has the same effect as sorting by created_at while
performing far better and without the need of an extra index (in case
one wanted to speed up sorting by "created_at").
Sorting by "Recently updated" still uses the physical "updated_at"
column as there's no way to use the "id" column for this instead.
This removes the need for Sidekiq and any overhead/problems introduced
by TCP. There are a few things to take into account:
1. When writing data to InfluxDB you may still get an error if the
server becomes unavailable during the write. Because of this we're
catching all exceptions and just ignore them (for now).
2. Writing via UDP apparently requires the timestamp to be in
nanoseconds. Without this data either isn't written properly.
3. Due to the restrictions on UDP buffer sizes we're writing metrics one
by one, instead of writing all of them at once.

Improve emoji picker
This request uses an emoji image sprite to show big set of emojis. The sprite has been made based one gemojione gem images. The categories are retrieved from https://github.com/jonathanwiesel/gemojione/blob/master/config/index.json as well.
Some categories are pretty poor, it can be extended in the future.
It's a first step on the way to improve picker.
The first implementation was using https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data project, but there was huge incompatibility with gemojione emojis set and I had to drop that solution.

This removes `remote: true` from CI Lint form, making it synchronous
form. This also removes some complexity related to displaying lint
messages.
View also has been updated, removed deprecated Bootstrap 2 tags.
Improved design.
