Grapify the users API

Certain endpoints return different entities based on which user issues the request. Right now, I am not aware how to specify multiple entities as part of the description block of the endpoint. @rymai Do you know something about that.

Fix pipeline author for Slack and use pipeline id for pipeline link

[Context](https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/runner-builds/p1479238493000018)

Pipeline Slack message:

>  gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner: Pipeline 8bed2a3b of fix/handle-failed-state-while-patching-trace branch by  failed in 1389 seconds 

Quotes:

> @godfat Take a look at these notifications, they seems to be missing author and should probably use Pipeline ID instead of SHA

Fix faulty deployment refs

In the 8.13 RC cycle, so before the release, there was a time in which
references in git where stored by id instead of iid. This could be fixed
by time, if the iid catches up with the id, it overwrites it. But in the
mean time we have wrong refs in the folder.

This commit fixes that. For all projects we have deployments we'll find
the ones where the ref has a higher number than the iid is now and calls
`#create_ref` on the corresponding deployment.

Fixes gitlab-com/infrastructure#683

One worry: I tested this locally, couldn't find a way to do automate this.

Fix broken commit metadata loading for large repository trees

## What does this MR do?

Fixes a regression introduced in !7208 in which a call to `ajaxGet()` would fail when loading metadata for large repository trees.

This call produced no errors in the console because it is contained in a sort of `eval` block in jQuery.  This is an ugly, easily broken method for loading data asynchronously whose problems were exemplified by this issue.  I'm opening a separate issue (#24660) to alter this implementation.

## Why was this MR needed?

The failing AJAX call was causing metadata to stop loading, and the `timeago` functionality to stop running due to script failure.
