it will decide the method for disable statement_timeout upon
per transaction or per session, based on how it's called.
When calling with a block, block will be executed and it will use
session based statement_timeout, otherwise will default to existing
behavior.
This removes all usage of soft removals except for the "pending delete"
system implemented for projects. This in turn simplifies all the query
plans of the models that used soft removals. Since we don't really use
soft removals for anything useful there's no point in keeping it around.
This _does_ mean that hard removals of issues (which only admins can do
if I'm not mistaken) can influence the "iid" values, but that code is
broken to begin with. More on this (and how to fix it) can be found in
