Automatically update MR merge-ref along merge status
This couples the code that transitions the `MergeRequest#merge_status` and refs/merge-requests/:iid/merge ref update. In general, instead of directly telling `MergeToRefService` to update the merge ref, we should rely on `MergeabilityCheckService` to keep both the merge status and merge ref synced. Now, if the merge_status is `can_be_merged` it means the merge-ref is also updated to the latest. We've also updated the logic to be more systematic and less user-based.
