Enforce retention policy definition

Panos Kanellidisrequested to merge
data-retention into master

What does this MR do and why?

Enforce retention policy definition

  • Implements retention policy data model
  • Adds a test suite to check the model's correctness
  • Adds a test suite to enforce retention policy definition for GitLab tables
  • Implements declarative schema inclusions and exclusions to ensure that addition and removal of schemas to/from the DB are captured
  • Implements a rake task to generate exclusions for existing tables (Temporary until they define their retention policy)

There will be a follow-up MR to introduce a Danger check that forbids new tables being added to the allowlist.yml file.
