Add project level git depth setting

Introduce default_git_depth in project's CI/CD settings and set it to
50. Use it if there is no GIT_DEPTH variable specified. Apply this
default only to newly created projects and keep it nil for old ones
in order to not break pipelines that rely on non-shallow clones.

default_git_depth can be updated from CI/CD Settings in the UI, must be
either nil or integer between 0 and 1000 (incl).

Inherit default_git_depth from the origin project when forking projects.

MR pipelines are run on a MR ref (refs/merge-requests/:iid/merge) and it
contains unique commit (i.e. merge commit) which doesn't exist in the
other branch/tags refs. We need to add it cause otherwise it may break
pipelines for old projects that have already enabled Pipelines for merge
results and have git depth 0.
