Fatih Acet 4d37be0fb8 Merge branch '22781-user-generated-permalinks' into 'master'
Resolve "User-generated permalink IDs collide with GitLab interface"

## What does this MR do?

Prevents ID values automatically generated by headers in [GitLab Flavored Markdown](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/user/markdown.md#header-ids-and-links) from colliding with IDs used elsewhere in the GitLab interface.  This can cause confusion when, for instance, a selector looks for a merge request tab with `id="pipelines"` and there is a header with the same ID earlier in the DOM.

How this works:
* All header IDs generated with GitLab Flavored Markdown are namespaced with `id="user-content_foo"`
* All anchor links which point to these IDs continue to use the non-namespaced hash `<a href="#foo">...</a>`
* When a page is loaded or when the `hashchange` event is triggered, javascript will automatically search for `#user-content_foo` if `#foo` cannot be found, and scroll to that position instead.
