Soft deprecate widgets responses
What does this MR do and why?
Problem
commits_without_merge_commits and default_merge_commit_message
fields require access to commit messages. But these fields are not used
by the frontend anymore.
Solution
Make both fields to return empty values when the feature flag "disable_widget_responses" is enabled.
