    Clean up migration to populate commit users · 9800171f

    This cleans up any pending MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers migration
    jobs. In addition, we stop using the old columns, ignore them, and
    remove them in a post-deployment migration.
    
    We don't need a separate release for the removal of the columns, as
    ignoring them in the deploy ensures it's safe to remove the columns in a
    post-deployment migration. In addition, the code has supported reading
    from/writing to the new data for the last two or so months.
    
    With this change we should start seeing less growth in the
    merge_request_diff_commits table, as we no longer store many duplicate
    names and Emails. Once we find a way to reclaim unused space in the
    table, we should be able to free up roughly 500 GB of disk space as
    mentioned in the original issue
    (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/331823).
