Add regenerate unique domain regenerate button for GitLab Pages

Ben King requested to merge benjaminking-unique-reset into master

What does this MR do and why?

TODO: Spec tests / UX wording improvement

This MR features the addition of a button/option to allow users to regenerate a unique domain for their project pages. This can be useful if the current domain is no longer desired or if it needs to be changed for any reason. The feature also includes a confirmation dialogue to prevent accidental domain regeneration.

In this issue, the behaviour was addressed that Google may flag a dangerous site with the old long domains. We may still have these on GitLab.com and there is no option to reset/regenerate them easily.
