Extend API spec helper for new `admin_mode` PAT scope

Jonas Wälter requested to merge siemens/gitlab:admin-mode/api-spec-helper into master

What does this MR do and why?

Note: This MR is based on (but not blocked by) !107925 (merged).

This MR is part of the implementation plan in #42692 (comment 1222832412) to extend the Admin Mode feature to the API access using a personal access token (PAT).

In !107925 (merged), the Admin Mode is implemented for API as well - but behind a feature flag and without adapting any API specs. As a preparation for the adaption of the API specs (will be done in follow-up MRs), this MR extends the API spec helper for the new admin_mode PAT scope (introduced in !107875 (merged)).

Further information: #42692 (closed)

How to set up and validate locally

  1. In API specs, use the admin_mode parameter to add the admin_mode scope to the PAT on an API request:
get api('/application/appearance', current_user, admin_mode: true)
