Revert keep around diff deletion for 17.7 backport
What does this MR do and why?
Reverts the MR that stopped creating keep around refs (!174925 (merged)) because it was causing an issue with diffs: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/511302 . This will affect self managed customers in 17.7+ so it needs a backport.
The MR that's already been merged to master is: !177083 (merged)
This reverts commit d5786005, reversing changes made to 8dcd9d61.
