This patch adds support for GitLab API v4 while maintaining backwards
compatability with v3. When we don't know the API version of the host,
we will determine it by optimistically assuming v4 and then falling back
to v3.

Additionally, we no longer use the user's password to retrieve an API
token from GitLab. Newer versions (9+) remove the /session API and
require users to generate a token per application in their profile
settings. We now accept this API token directly with instructions how to
create it on new and old versions of GitLab.

Some other minor changes were made:

  • We now log full stack traces from unexpected Exceptions in the
    Repository Form
  • We now have commit summaries for post commit review for older versions
    of GitLab that don't include the entire commit message
  • Support for nested groups in newer versions of GitLab
  • Linked a gitlab.com nested group repository (e.g. group foo/bar, repo
    baz) and was able to do post-commit review.
  • Linked a GitLab 7 group and user repository and was able to do
    post-commit review for both.
  • Ran unit tests.
