[EE] First iteration to allow creating QA resources using the API

Rémy Coutable requested to merge ee-qa-123 into master

EE MR for https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/21302.

What does this MR do?

  1. This adds a new #fabricate_via_api! method to create a QA factory resource using the API, which is much faster than via the Web UI
  • To enable resource creation via the API, all you have to define are the following methods: #api_post_path, #api_get_path, #api_post_body, and optionally the #transform_api_resource method

  1. .fabricate! use the API fabrication method by default, and this method fallback to the Browser UI fabrication method if not implemented

  2. Dependencies fabrication is done using the API fabrication method by default, and this method fallback to the Browser UI fabrication method if not implemented

  3. Only sandbox, group, and project factories implement the API fabrication method for now.
