Revamp finding projects by namespaces

By using a JOIN we can remove the need for using 2 separate queries to
find a project by its namespace. Combined with an index (only needed for
PostgreSQL) this reduces the query time from ~245 ms (~520 ms for the
first call) down to roughly 10 ms (~15 ms for the first call).
