Previously, you could only access personal snippets in the API if you
had authored them. The documentation doesn't state that this is the
case, and it's quite surprising.
This completely rewrites the SnippetsFinder class from the ground up in
order to improve its performance. The old code was beyond salvaging. It
was complex, included various Rails 5 workarounds, comments that
shouldn't be necessary, and most important of all: it produced a really
poorly performing database query.
As a result, I opted for rewriting the finder from scratch, instead of
trying to patch the existing code. Instead of trying to reuse as many
existing methods as possible, I opted for defining new methods
specifically meant for the SnippetsFinder. This requires some extra code
here and there, but allows us to have much more control over the
resulting SQL queries. It is these changes that then allow us to produce
a _much_ more efficient query.
To illustrate how bad the old query was, we will use my own snippets as
an example. Currently I have 52 snippets, most of which are global ones.
To retrieve these, you would run the following Ruby code:
user = User.find_by(username: 'yorickpeterse')
SnippetsFinder.new(user, author: user).execute
On GitLab.com the resulting query will take between 10 and 15 seconds to
run, producing the query plan found at
https://explain.depesz.com/s/Y5IX. Apart from the long execution time,
the total number of buffers (the sum of all shared hits) is around 185
GB, though the real number is probably (hopefully) much lower as I doubt
simply summing these numbers produces the true total number of buffers
used.
The new query's plan can be found at https://explain.depesz.com/s/wHdN,
and this query takes between 10 and 100-ish milliseconds to run. The
total number of buffers used is only about 30 MB.

New version of the gem returns 200 status code on delete with content
instead of 204 so we explicitly set status code to keep existing
behavior

Apply the same spam checks to public snippets (either personal snippets
that are public, or public snippets on public projects) as to issues on
public projects.
Adding the necessary API for the new /snippets Restful resource
added with this commit. Added a new Grape class `Snippets`, as
well as a `PersonalSnippet` entity.
