Delete project bot when token is revoked

Serena Fang requested to merge revoke-token-delete-project-bot into master

What does this MR do?

When using Project Access Tokens a bot user is created to hold the access token. If the token is revoked, the bot user is converted to a ghost user and then blocked. After the revoke is complete the bot user is never actually deleted, which leads to a bunch of accounts lying around. So, this MR fully deletes the bot user after revoking the token and converting to a ghost user.

Considered using Users::DestroyService, as it migrates the user to a ghost user as well as deletes the user from database, but I don't think we can use Users::DestroyService because a regular user can create a project access token if can?(current_user, :admin_project, resource), but Users::DestroyService checks for Ability.allowed?(current_user, :destroy_user, user) and a regular user can't destroy another user.

Closes #244545 (closed)
