Toon Claes 1c481b7aac Enhance performance of counting local Uploads
Add an index to the `store` column on `uploads`. This makes counting
local uploads faster.

Also, there is no longer need to check for objects with `store = NULL`.

### Query plans

Query:

```sql
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM "uploads"
WHERE ("uploads"."store" = ? OR "uploads"."store" IS NULL)
```

#### Without index

```
gitlabhq_production=# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT uploads.* FROM uploads WHERE (uploads.store = 1 OR uploads.store IS NULL);
                                                  QUERY PLAN
