Group setting toggle for hierarchy optimization

Adam Hegyi requested to merge 433478-group-setting-toggle into master

What does this MR do and why?

This MR adds a temporary group setting toggle (behind feature flag) for enabling the group hierarchy query optimizations for a group. I decided to have an actual toggle on the UI so we have an easy way to enable and disable the optimization for a group on production before rolling the optimization out globally. The other approach would be creating the Namespaces::Descendants record via rails console which make testing the feature on smaller/isolated groups difficult (creating a change request).
