Reviewers

The common query methods for review requests, review groups, and
repositories had one parameter for specifying a LocalSite and another
(show_all_local_sites) for specifying if the query should be across
all LocalSites.

As we begin to add more methods for calculating LocalSite-related
stats, we have more cases where callers need to be able to provide a
LocalSite, the global site, or specify "across all sites". Keeping
this two-parameter approach just makes all this more complicated and
messy, so this change introduces a new approach.

There's now a LocalSite.ALL value that represents "across all sites".
Functions can optionally accept this in order to explicitly request this
kind of query.

This is just a simple object, and will fail if being passed into
queryset filters, which means we won't accidentally break anything if
passed in. Any function that accepts LocalSite.ALL will need to be
documented as explicitly supporting it.

Right now, support is available in ReviewRequestManager,
ReviewGroupManager, and RepositoryManager query methods. Some of the
new stat-calculation functions will soon take this as well.

The old show_all_local_sites flag still works, but will emit a
deprecation warning. All internal code has been updated to use
LocalSite.ALL instead.

All unit tests pass, with no related warnings.

Summary ID
Introduce LocalSite.ALL as a method for querying across all LocalSites.
The common query methods for review requests, review groups, and repositories had one parameter for specifying a `LocalSite` and another (`show_all_local_sites`) for specifying if the query should be across all `LocalSite`s. As we begin to add more methods for calculating `LocalSite`-related stats, we have more cases where callers need to be able to provide a `LocalSite`, the global site, or specify "across all sites". Keeping this two-parameter approach just makes all this more complicated and messy, so this change introduces a new approach. There's now a `LocalSite.ALL` value that represents "across all sites".

This is just a simple object, and will fail if being passed into queryset filters, which means we won't accidentally break anything if passed in.
