Merge branch 'migration-downtime-tags' into 'master'

Added checks for migration downtime

This adds a set of checks that check/list which migrations require downtime (or not). It also comes with a CI task that fails should a migration not be tagged properly.

Fixes #14545

-## Comments in the migration
+## Downtime Tagging
 
-Each migration you write needs to have the two following pieces of information
-as comments.
+Every migration must specify if it requires downtime or not, and if it should
+require downtime it must also specify a reason for this. To do so, add the
+following two constants to the migration class' body:
 
-### Online, Offline, errors?
+* `DOWNTIME`: a boolean that when set to `true` indicates the migration requires
+  downtime.
+* `DOWNTIME_REASON`: a String containing the reason for the migration requiring
+  downtime. This constant **must** be set when `DOWNTIME` is set to `true`.
 
-First, you need to provide information on whether the migration can be applied:
+For example:
 
-1. online without errors (works on previous version and new one)
-2. online with errors on old instances after migrating
-3. online with errors on new instances while migrating
-4. offline (needs to happen without app servers to prevent db corruption)
-
-For example: 
-
-```
-# Migration type: online without errors (works on previous version and new one)
+```ruby
 class MyMigration < ActiveRecord::Migration
-...
-```
+  DOWNTIME = true
+  DOWNTIME_REASON = 'This migration requires downtime because ...'
 
-It is always preferable to have a migration run online. If you expect the migration
-to take particularly long (for instance, if it loops through all notes),
-this is valuable information to add.
+  def change
+    ...
+  end
+end
+```
 
-If you don't provide the information it means that a migration is safe to run online.
+It is an error (that is, CI will fail) if the `DOWNTIME` constant is missing
+from a migration class.
 
-### Reversibility
+## Reversibility
 
 Your migration should be reversible. This is very important, as it should
 be possible to downgrade in case of a vulnerability or bugs.
