Add a Rake task to fix incorrectly-recorded external diffs

This Rake task should only be used in extremis. Check the docs for more
details on that.

These rules strike a balance between space and performance by only storing
frequently-accessed diffs in the database. Diffs that are less likely to be
accessed are moved to external storage instead.
## Correcting incorrectly-migrated diffs
Versions of GitLab earlier than `v13.0.0` would incorrectly record the location
of some merge request diffs when [external diffs in object storage](#object-storage-settings)
were enabled. This mainly affected imported merge requests, and was resolved
with [this merge request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/31005).
If you are using object storage, have never used on-disk storage for external
diffs, the "changes" tab for some merge requests fails to load with a 500 error,
and the exception for that error is of this form:
```plain
Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/external-diffs/merge_request_diffs/mr-6167082/diff-8199789)
```
Then you are affected by this issue. Since it's not possible to safely determine
all these conditions automatically, we've provided a Rake task in GitLab v13.2.0
that you can run manually to correct the data:
**In Omnibus installations:**
```shell
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:external_diffs:force_object_storage
```
**In installations from source:**
```shell
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:external_diffs:force_object_storage RAILS_ENV=production
```
Environment variables can be provided to modify the behavior of the task. The
available variables are:
| Name | Default value | Purpose |
| ---- | ------------- | ------- |
| `ANSI` | `true` | Use ANSI escape codes to make output more understandable |
| `BATCH_SIZE` | `1000` | Iterate through the table in batches of this size |
| `START_ID` | `nil` | If set, begin scanning at this ID |
| `END_ID` | `nil` | If set, stop scanning at this ID |
| `UPDATE_DELAY` | `1` | Number of seconds to sleep between updates |
The `START_ID` and `END_ID` variables may be used to run the update in parallel,
by assigning different processes to different parts of the table. The `BATCH`
and `UPDATE_DELAY` parameters allow the speed of the migration to be traded off
against concurrent access to the table. The `ANSI` parameter should be set to
false if your terminal does not support ANSI escape codes.
