Add Composer Project Service

username-removed-33480 requested to merge dejxa/gitlab-ce:composer-service into master

This commit adds the per-project option to expose a project as a composer package. It generates and maintains a packages.json file (conforming to https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md) in the public/ folder, allowing the GitLab install to be used as a Composer repository.

Note: There is a known issue integrating with the GitLab-Omnibus, namely that the public folder is owned by 'root' and GitLab is run as 'git'. 
I'm still working on a suitable workaround and am open to input on solutions.

Please see feature thread http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/5953067-provide-composer-package-repository-support

When a project that has activated the composer service receives a push, the public /packages.json file will be refreshed to include version definitions for every branch and tag in the project's repository.
