Allow reporters to approve MRs

What does this MR do?

Users with Reporter access can be added to a project and also a group, but currently cannot approve MRs if they do not have push access to the branch.

With this MR, when such a group is granted access to Project Approval Rules for a Protected Branch, a Reporter will be able to approve Merge Requests against that protected branch.
