James Edwards-Jones 46f66c7f0a Allow setting feature flags per GitLab group
Building on support for setting feature flags by project, this adds
support for setting them by GitLab group path.

This is different from setting them by Flipper feature_groups, which
are for batch updating pre-registered collections.

# Features flags API
All methods require administrator authorization.
Notice that currently the API only supports boolean and percentage-of-time gate
values.
## List all features
Get a list of all persisted features, with its gate values.
```
GET /features
```
```bash
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/features
```
Example response:
```json
[
{
"name": "experimental_feature",
"state": "off",
"gates": [
{
"key": "boolean",
"value": false
}
]
},
{
"name": "new_library",
"state": "on",
"gates": [
{
"key": "boolean",
"value": true
}
]
}
]
```
## Set or create a feature
Set a feature's gate value. If a feature with the given name doesn't exist yet
it will be created. The value can be a boolean, or an integer to indicate
percentage of time.
```
POST /features/:name
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `name` | string | yes | Name of the feature to create or update |
| `value` | integer/string | yes | `true` or `false` to enable/disable, or an integer for percentage of time |
| `feature_group` | string | no | A Feature group name |
| `user` | string | no | A GitLab username |
| `group` | string | no | A GitLab group's path, for example 'gitlab-org' |
| `project` | string | no | A projects path, for example 'gitlab-org/gitlab-ce' |
Note that you can enable or disable a feature for a `feature_group`, a `user`,
a `group`, and a `project` in a single API call.
```bash
curl --data "value=30" --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/features/new_library
```
Example response:
```json
{
"name": "new_library",
"state": "conditional",
"gates": [
{
"key": "boolean",
"value": false
},
{
"key": "percentage_of_time",
"value": 30
}
]
}
```
## Delete a feature
Removes a feature gate. Response is equal when the gate exists, or doesn't.
```

```
