Update user highest roles table

Corinna Gogolok requested to merge update_user_highest_roles_table into master

What does this MR do?

Part of #118592 (closed)

Whenever a Member of a Group or Project is added, updated or removed and the highest role for the Member's User changes a job will be schedule to update the user_highest_roles table. The job will be scheduled 10 minutes into the future and outside of the Member's database transaction. It will also use an exclusive lease (30 minutes) and will only be scheduled if the job can take the lease. This is to avoid scheduling multiple jobs if the same action was triggered multiple times in a short period of time.

This is a suggestion from this comment in order to resolve performance issues when querying too much data.
