Fix project transfer e-mail sending incorrect paths in e-mail notification

The introduction of ActiveJob and `deliver_now` in 7f214cee caused a race
condition where the mailer would be invoked before the project was committed
to the database, causing the transfer e-mail notification to show the old
path instead of the new one.

Closes #4670

This removes the need for Sidekiq and any overhead/problems introduced
by TCP. There are a few things to take into account:

1. When writing data to InfluxDB you may still get an error if the
   server becomes unavailable during the write. Because of this we're
   catching all exceptions and just ignore them (for now).
2. Writing via UDP apparently requires the timestamp to be in
   nanoseconds. Without this data either isn't written properly.
3. Due to the restrictions on UDP buffer sizes we're writing metrics one
   by one, instead of writing all of them at once.

Newlines aren't really needed and they may mess with InfluxDB's line
protocol.

Downcased user or email search for avatar_icon.

GitLab users are defined with their mail address which is enforced to be lower case. When a commit is listed in the history whose committer mail address is not written in all lower case, the corresponding GitLab user won't be found because the search is case sensitive resp. the mail address to search for not downcased.

Makes reCAPTCHA configurable through Application Settings screen

Following the work made by @stanhu here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/2216, made it configurable without needing to restart Gitlab

This is a temporary hotfix that allows to access build artifacts created
before 8.3. See #5257.

This needs to be changed after migrating CI build files.

Note that `ArtifactUploader` uses `artifacts_path` to create a storage
directory before and after parsisting `Ci::Build` instance, before and
after moving a file to store (save and fetch a file).

Fix spelling mistake, thanks Connor.

Environment variables in the app

Fixes #3717 and #3519 

## Why environment variables?

We need environmental variables, they are an expected way to configure apps https://medium.com/@kelseyhightower/12-fractured-apps-1080c73d481c#.ntrdiyu4c

This causes many tools and to tutorials to make it easy to set environmental variables and harder to supply a configuration file. 

So even though we agree they are not ideal https://support.cloud.engineyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/205407508-Environment-Variables-and-Why-You-Shouldn-t-Use-Them the market has spoken.

## Why for GitLab the application and not for the Omnibus packages?

Environmental variables are also needed by people that do not run our Omnibus packages, for example natively bundled apps (Debian apt-get) and idiomatic Docker packages (Mesos, Kubernetes, etc.).

Of course it should work great with Omnibus packages too so any advise is welcome in that regard.

There is an MR https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/merge_requests/575/diffs to be able to set any variable in gitlab.rb via environmental variables. I think both that and this MR should be merged to solve the configuration problem for both Omnibus and non-Omnibus installations. When both are merged the documentation should be crosslinked.

## Why uppercase?

Need to be all cap according to Google Shell guideline:
"Constants and Environment Variable Names => All caps, separated with underscores, declared at the top of the file."
https://google.github.io/styleguide/shell.xml#Constants_and_Environment_Variable_Names

Or as explained on http://stackoverflow.com/a/673940/613240
Keeping to this convention, you can rest assured that you don't need to know every environment variable used by UNIX tools or shells in order to avoid overwriting them. If it's your variable, lowercase it. If you export it, uppercase it.
