Advanced Search support multi-project search

Advanced Search should add multi project search support behind a feature flag. Multi project search will return results for Advanced Search results only.

Proposed plan

backend work

• add a feature flag (gated by user)
• search_controller.rb support multiple values for project_ids, example: ?project_ids=1,2,3 and ?project_ids=1
• for backwards compatibility, we will keep project_id for input sent from a single select drop down UI component, the project_id params= may be deprecated and removed in future MRs
• ee/lib/gitlab/elastic/project_search_results.rb and ee/lib/gitlab/elastic/search_results.rb are the two files in play for the elasticsearch backed queries
  • support any current permission checks (example: Ability.allowed?)
  • support an array of projects vs. a singular project for each scope
    • code/blobs
    • issues
    • merge requests
    • commits
    • comments/notes
    • milestones
    • users - this one may be difficult as it is backed by Postgres
• add project_ids to the logging used in the search_controller.rb method append_info_to_payload

frontend work

• create an EE component to support multi select for project select
• pass whether Elasticsearch is enabled to the frontend to determine which component is used

Note: the new component will need to be kept in sync with the CE version, but we don't make changes to those components too often so it should be ok
