Adding initial tracking for file size highlight limits [RUN ALL RSPEC] [RUN AS-IF-FOSS]

Gary Holtz requested to merge 31065-gmh-add-size-over-metrics into master

What does this MR do?

GitLab will only highlight text if it is under a certain file size. The default value is 512kb, but that can be configured in the gitlab.yml file. (see: !60445 (merged) )

For #31065, we are trying to decide if that is the best number to have as a default. To figure that out, we need some metrics:

This MR will introduce a feature flag track_file_size_over_highlight_limit that, when enabled, will increment a metric each time we go over the file size configured in Gitlab.config.extra['maximum_text_highlight_size_kilobytes'].
