Add a `database` category

Sean McGivern requested to merge add-background-migration-feature-category into master

Why is this change being made?

We use feature categories to attribute background Sidekiq workers, because feature categories are more stable than stages and groups. This adds a hidden (non-marketing, non-ROI) feature category for background migrations to allow us to assign the background_migrations Sidekiq queue to it. Presently the Database group does not have any categories, so this MR introduces one named database.

This attribution does not mean that the Database team are on the hook for all issues in background migrations, but that they will be the default point of contact for them (as they would be anyway) to triage them.

For gitlab-com/gl-infra/scalability#144 (closed).
