Fix https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/27070
Deprecate "chat commands" in favor of "slash commands"
We looked for things like:
- `slash commmand`
- `slash_command`
- `slash-command`
- `SlashCommand`
- gl_emoji for falling back to image/css-sprite when the browser
doesn't support an emoji
- Markdown rendering (Banzai filter)
- Autocomplete
- Award emoji menu
- Perceived perf
- Immediate response because we now build client-side
- Update `digests.json` generation in gemojione rake task to be more
useful and include `unicodeVersion`

Some important things to note:
- commands are removed from noteable.description / note.note
- commands are translated to params so that they are treated as normal
params in noteable Creation services
- the logic is not in the models but in the Creation services, which is
the right place for advanced logic that has nothing to do with what
models should be responsible of!
- UI/JS needs to be updated to handle notes which consist of commands
only
- the `/merge` command is not handled yet
Other improvements:
- Don't process commands in commit notes and display a flash is note is only commands
- Add autocomplete for slash commands
- Add description and params to slash command DSL methods
- Ensure replying by email with a commands-only note works
- Use :subscription_event instead of calling noteable.subscribe
- Support :todo_event in IssuableBaseService
