This refactors the Markdown pipeline so it supports the rendering of
multiple documents that may belong to different projects. An example of
where this happens is when displaying the event feed of a group. In this
case we retrieve events for all projects in the group. Previously we
would group events per project and render these chunks separately, but
this would result in many SQL queries being executed. By extending the
Markdown pipeline to support this out of the box we can drastically
reduce the number of SQL queries.
To achieve this we introduce a new object to the pipeline:
Banzai::RenderContext. This object simply wraps two other objects: an
optional Project instance, and an optional User instance. On its own
this wouldn't be very helpful, but a RenderContext can also be used to
associate HTML documents with specific Project instances. This work is
done in Banzai::ObjectRenderer and allows us to reuse as many queries
(and results) as possible.
Example: for issues that are closed, the links will now show '[closed]'
following the issue number. This is done as post-process after the markdown has
been loaded from the cache as the status of the issue may change between
the cache being populated and the content being displayed.
In order to avoid N+1 queries problem when rendering notes ObjectRenderer
populates the cache of referenced issuables for all notes at once,
before the post processing phase.
As a part of this change, the Banzai BaseParser#grouped_objects_for_nodes
method has been refactored to return a Hash utilising the node itself as the
key, since this was a common pattern of usage for this method.
