This old migration used Rugged to find a commit, while Gitaly is the
prefered way now. By migrating this to Gitaly, Gitaly is now a required
running component for this migration.

This will be necessary when adding gitaly settings. This version
doesn't make any functional changes, but allows us to include this
breaking change in 9.0 and add the needed extra settings in the future
with backwards compatibility
If the source encoding is not UTF-8 we need to encode the data as
`JSON.dump` may throw an error if the input can not be converted to
UTF-8. We only encode when necessary to reduce the overhead.

By passing commit data to this worker we remove the need for querying
the Git repository for every job. This in turn reduces the time spent
processing each job.
The migration included migrates jobs from the old format to the new
format. For this to work properly it requires downtime as otherwise
workers may start producing errors until they're using a newer version
of the worker code.
