Project authorization is unique per user, project

Alex Pooley requested to merge apooley/unique-project-auths into master

What does this MR do?

Currently the code allows duplicate <user,project,access_level> triples in ProjectAuthorization records. This is invalid, and too loose which results in more complex querying than necessary.

This MR tightens the uniqueness validation to only allow <user,project> pairs in ProjectAuthorization.

Duplicate records in production were removed a year ago.

I believe this query plan says we don't have any duplicates today.

Migration Dump

I would like to have copied the temporary index method used by @ahegyi here !55285 (diffs) except the project_authorizations table does not have a primary key, or timestamps. There is currently a service that removes duplicates every two weeks if they exist, and .com did not have any duplicates when I checked.
