Flushing the events cache worked by updating a recent number of rows in
the "events" table. This has the result that on PostgreSQL a lot of dead
tuples are produced on a regular basis. This in turn means that
PostgreSQL will spend considerable amounts of time vacuuming this table.
This in turn can lead to an increase of database load.

For GitLab.com we measured the impact of not using events caching and
found no measurable increase in response timings. Meanwhile not flushing
the events cache lead to the "events" table having no more dead tuples
as now rows are only inserted into this table.

As a result of this we are hereby removing events caching as it does not
appear to help and only increases database load.

changes made to 4bff9daf.

- Avoid multiple calls to `validates` for the avatar attributes.
- In a cropping process, don't check if the model inherits `User`, check if it responds to `:avatar_crop_size`.

- Avoid incomprehensible errors on non-integer cropping values
- Set the default cropping area to 80%

This reverts commit 7d5f86f6.

This commit moves the note folder from
/public/uploads/note
to
/uploads/note
and changes the uploader accordingly.
Now it's no longer possible to avoid the access control by modifing the url.
The Avatar upload has been refactored to use an own uploader as well
to cleanly seperate the two upload types.

The attachment URL was not working with relative_url_root not equal to '/'. I suggest this fix.

Add Rails' variable in application.rb to support relative url

This variable is used by assets compilation and other modules.

Note that user needs to change application.rb too

Restrict session cookie to the relative path if set.
