Suggested Solution - Auto-fix MRs - backend

This is a sub-issue for #216027 (closed)

We need to create auto-fix MR if the setting for auto-fix is enabled:

Implementation plan

  • Register the bot user GitLab-security-bot that will author auto-fix MRs.
    • When registering the bot, we should set a status that will make it clear that it's system bot: :robot: System user bot
  • Make GitLab-security-bot's profile link available to the frontend (HAML).
  • Automatically create remediation MRs assigned to GitLab-security-bot and labelled with gitlab-vulnerability-auto-fix whenever an available solution is detected for a given vulnerability.
  • Notify the users that MRs were created via an alert/flash message (picture e.).
