Explored Policy framework to create something I can use as a starting point.

Added changelog

1. Instantiate `ProtectedBranchesAccessSelect` from `dispatcher`

2. Use `can?(user, ...)` instead of `user.can?(...)`

3. Add `DOWNTIME` notes to all migrations added in !5081.

4. Add an explicit `down` method for migrations removing the
   `developers_can_push` and `developers_can_merge` columns, ensuring that
   the columns created (on rollback) have the appropriate defaults.

5. Remove duplicate CHANGELOG entries.

6. Blank lines after guard clauses.

1. It makes sense to reuse these constants since we had them duplicated
   in the previous enum implementation. This also simplifies our
   `check_access` implementation, because we can use
   `project.team.max_member_access` directly.

2. Use `accepts_nested_attributes_for` to create push/merge access
   levels. This was a bit fiddly to set up, but this simplifies our code
   by quite a large amount. We can even get rid of
   `ProtectedBranches::BaseService`.

3. Move API handling back into the API (previously in
   `ProtectedBranches::BaseService#translate_api_params`.

4. The protected branch services now return a `ProtectedBranch` rather
   than `true/false`.

5. Run `load_protected_branches` on-demand in the `create` action, to
   prevent it being called unneccessarily.

6. "Masters" is pre-selected as the default option for "Allowed to Push"
   and "Allowed to Merge".

7. These changes were based on a review from @rymai in !5081.

1. This is a third line of defence (first in the view, second in the
   controller).

2. Duplicate the `API::Helpers.to_boolean` method in `BaseService`. The
   other alternative is to `include API::Helpers`, but this brings with it
   a number of other methods that might cause conflicts.

3. Return a 403 if authorization fails.

1. So it works with the new data model for protected branch access levels.

1. Improve error handling while creating protected branches.

2. Modify coffeescript code so that the "Developers can *" checkboxes
   send a '1' or '0' even when using AJAX. This lets us keep the backend
   code simpler.

3. Use services for both creating and updating protected branches.
   Destruction is taken care of with `dependent: :destroy`
