Adjust nulls_last_order

Brett Walker requested to merge 29713-graphql-update-nulls-last-order into master

What does this MR do?

Use a more Arel friendly form of Gitlab::Database.nulls_last_order

The new Keyset::Connection class (coming soon to an MR near you) parses the order values on a relation. By using this form

[Arel.sql("#{field} IS NULL"), field => direction]

instead of

Arel.sql("#{field} #{direction} NULLS LAST")

it's able to parse the order values much easier.

For example, using Issue.order_relative_position_asc.order_values, originally you got

[1] pry(main)> Issue.order_relative_position_asc.order_values
=> ["relative_position ASC NULLS LAST"]

and now you get

[19] pry(main)> Issue.order_relative_position_asc.order_values
=> ["relative_position IS NULL",
 #<Arel::Nodes::Ascending:0x00007faf76d45620
  @expr=
   #<struct Arel::Attributes::Attribute
    relation=
     #<Arel::Table:0x00007faf83549180
      @name="issues",
      @table_alias=nil,
      @type_caster=
       #<ActiveRecord::TypeCaster::Map:0x00007faf835491d0
        @types=
         Issue(id: integer, title: string, author_id: integer, project_id: integer, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, description: text, milestone_id: integer, state: string, iid: integer, updated_by_id: integer, weight: integer, confidential: boolean, due_date: date, moved_to_id: integer, lock_version: integer, title_html: text, description_html: text, time_estimate: integer, relative_position: integer, service_desk_reply_to: string, cached_markdown_version: integer, last_edited_at: datetime, last_edited_by_id: integer, discussion_locked: boolean, closed_at: datetime_with_timezone, closed_by_id: integer, state_id: integer, duplicated_to_id: integer)>>,
    name="relative_position">>]
