When an issue's epic is added or changed, this operation executes quite many
SQL queries.

We can do part of the logic asynchronously:
* creation of system notes - this saves us noticable amount SQL queries
* usage ping metrics update - this is actually pretty cheap, but still
  no reason not to do it on background if we have the worker

Changelog: added

Fixes a bug in the SyncSeatLinkRequestWorker where the current license
was not being deleted despite being tested.  This appears to be a
problem with the way License.current uses caching.  The .destroy!
command does not actually delete the record from the DB.  The fix
instead deletes all existing cloud licenses uses delete_all.

Applies a similar fix for removing old cloud licenses to the
ActivateService.  Also fixes a minor bug where new licenses created in
the ActivateService did not create a record with the cloud attribute.
