Add a trial status sidebar widget behind feature flag

Dallas Reedy requested to merge 288014-create-trial-status-sidebar-widget into master

What does this MR do?

Adds a new experiment and corresponding feature flag that, when enabled, will show owners of a group with an active trial a new sidebar widget. The new sidebar widget keeps them informed of how many days are left in their trial. When a user interacts with the widget, by clicking/tapping on it, it takes them to the billing/plan-selection page with the hope that users will more frequently & more expediently convert to paying customers.

No documentation or changelog is necessary as this is part of an experiment and is controlled by a feature flag that is disabled until the experiment is ready to be rolled out.

Testing Locally

To test this locally, you’ll need to turn on the check_namespace_plan application setting:

# in the Rails console
> ApplicationSetting.first.update(check_namespace_plan: true)

You may also need to override what ::Gitlab.com? returns to force it to always return true.

After that, you just need to have a group that is currently in a trial. Navigate to the group to see the new trial status widget in the sidebar.
