Resolve "API endpoint PUT /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approvers executes more than 100 SQL queries"

What does this MR do?

This endpoint was scheduled to be removed in %12.0 but never was. It has shown as "deprecated" in the docs for several years now - but now the endpoint has a few bugs and is causing database performance to suffer. There is no formal issue to actually remove the endpoint, which may be why it was missed.
