Fix multipart attachments not uploading

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-fix-multipart-uploads-failure into master

Mixing and matching the use of Rack::Request and ActionDispatch::Request in Rails 5 is bad, particularly if you have middleware that manipulates or accesses environment variables.

Gitlab::Middleware::Multipart attempts to rewrite request parameters to the proper values (e.g. replacing data_file with UploadedFile). It does this by calling Rack::Request#update_params, which essentially updates env['rack.request.form_hash'].

By changing to ActionDispatch::Request, the Go middleware was causing the request parameters to be stored inside env['action_dispatch.request.request_parameters']. Later calls to Rack::Request#update_params would not have any effect because it would attempt to update env['rack.request.form_has'] instead of env['action_dispatch.request.request_parameters']. As a result, the controller still saw the old parameters.

Since the Go middleware appears to be using ActionDispatch::Request for authorization methods, we can switch the multipart middleware to use it too.
