What does this MR do?

Adds a section to the merge request widget that reports on performance metrics based on pipeline artifacts (similar to the security and codeclimate sections)

• add backend component that looks for jobs named "performance" or "deploy" with an artifact labeled "performance.json" and exposes the links to these artifacts to the MR widget
• add frontend component that accepts and parses these json files, and renders a section in the MR widget with the formatted data
• add tests
• create Auto DevOps template for a job that will produce these artifacts for a generic deployment
