Add GraphQL type to allow retrieval of all compliance violations within a group

What does this MR do and why?

This MR adds a new GraphQL type and applies it to the Enterprise Edition group GraphQL type.

Expected graphQL query being used on the frontend

GraphQL query
query getComplianceViolations($fullPath: ID!) {
  group(fullPath: $fullPath) {
    id
    mergeRequestViolations {
      nodes {
        id
        severityLevel

How to set up and validate locally

Setting up the violations

  1. Enable the feature flag compliance_violations_graphql_type: echo "Feature.enable(:compliance_violations_graphql_type)" | bundle exec rails c
  2. Go to a projects general settings and make sure Prevent approval by author. is unticked under the Merge request approvals section
  3. Edit a file in the project and create a new merge request
  4. Use the merge requests author to approve the merge request and then merge it
  5. Wait for merging to be completed

Running the query

  1. Open your preferred GraphQL caller. You could use [GDK_HOST]/-/graphql-explorer
  2. Check that the violations you created above are shown using the query
