Fix https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/27070
Deprecate "chat commands" in favor of "slash commands"
We looked for things like:
- `slash commmand`
- `slash_command`
- `slash-command`
- `SlashCommand`
Remove slash commands from Markdown preview and display their outcome next to
the text field.
Introduce new "explanation" block to our slash commands DSL.
Introduce optional "parse_params" block to slash commands DSL that allows to
process a parameter before it is passed to "explanation" or "command" blocks.
Pass path for previewing Markdown as "data" attribute instead of setting
a variable on "window".
Other improvements:
- Ensure slash commands autocomplete doesn't break when noteable_type is not given
- Slash commands: improve autocomplete behavior and /due command
- We don't display slash commands for note edit forms.
- Add tests for reply by email with slash commands
- Be sure to execute slash commands after the note creation in Notes::CreateService

- Return only slash commands that make sense for the current noteable
- Allow slash commands decription to be dynamic
Other improvements:
- Add permission checks in slash commands definition
- Use IssuesFinder and MergeRequestsFinder
- Use next if instead of a unless block, and use splat operator instead of flatten

Some important things to note:
- commands are removed from noteable.description / note.note
- commands are translated to params so that they are treated as normal
params in noteable Creation services
- the logic is not in the models but in the Creation services, which is
the right place for advanced logic that has nothing to do with what
models should be responsible of!
- UI/JS needs to be updated to handle notes which consist of commands
only
- the `/merge` command is not handled yet
Other improvements:
- Don't process commands in commit notes and display a flash is note is only commands
- Add autocomplete for slash commands
- Add description and params to slash command DSL methods
- Ensure replying by email with a commands-only note works
- Use :subscription_event instead of calling noteable.subscribe
- Support :todo_event in IssuableBaseService
