UX improvements for merge train removal when user is still on the MR page
Release notes
Problem to solve
While working on merge trains drew and I noticed that there isn't much to call your attention to why your MR was removed from the train. The error messages appear in the system notes only (which may be off screen) and the MR gets removed but if the error messages are off screen, then it looks buggy as shown in this video @drew made:

Intended users
User experience goal
Users should be able to follow the changes taking place in the merge train while they're still on the MR, but the activity feed is not in their view.
Proposal
A toast message would appear on the same view Merge request was removed from the merge train. With learn more pointing to the docs page that's displayed on the system note.
