Default branch auto-discovery

Created by: rspeicher

A Project's default_branch will now be null by default. Upon the first repository push, discover_default_branch gets called. If only one branch exists, we use that. If two branches exist, we prefer the one called master.

Includes a migration, so run those migrations, people!

    I installed the stable version of gitlab 1 day ago (v3.0.3) and I pushed the stable branch of gitlab to my freshly installed gitlab instance. Gitlab still showed me the "new repo" information instead of giving me access to the default branch which was "stable". I tried to force the access by going to /project/tree/stable and it gave me a 404.
