Fix handling of filenames with hash characters in tree view

Closes #54473

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!23368

Addressable::URI interprets the `#` in a URI as a URI fragment
and does not escape it, but Rails has special helpers that treats
these as bona-fide characters that need to be escaped.

Closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/23368

`Rugged::Reference.valid_name?` used in
`Gitlab::GitRefValidator.validate` fails on strings containing null
bytes because it uses `StringValueCStr()`. Per
https://silverhammermba.github.io/emberb/c/:

Ruby’s String kinda corresponds to C’s char*. The simplest macro is
StringValueCStr() which returns a null-terminated char* for a
String. The problem here is that a Ruby String might contain nulls - in
which case StringValueCStr() will raise an ArgumentError!

Use shelling out to git to write refs instead of rugged, hoping to
avoid creating invalid refs.

CE port of "Move merge request approval settings"

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!23157

The `gitlab:assets:compile` job isn't run for the QA branches, thus
there's no Docker image correspinding these branches in the registry.

By overriding `CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG` to `master` for QA branches, the
`fetch-assets` job in the `omnibus-gitlab` pipeline will pull the
`master` assets Docker image.
