These are regular Rails migrations that are executed by default. A user
can opt-out of these migrations by setting an environment variable
during the deployment process.

These new checks can be used to check if migrations require downtime or
not (as tagged by their authors). In CI this compares the current branch
with master so migrations added by merge requests are automatically
verified.
To check the migrations added since a Git reference simply run:
bundle exec rake gitlab:db:downtime_check[GIT_REF]
Since we eager load everything in lib/ putting ERB code in .rb files
will result in syntax errors. By moving the templates to
./generator_templates we can work around this.
