Stop creating keep-arounds on merge-request notes
What does this MR do and why?
Merge requests already keep all associated commits. When notes create keep-arounds on merge requests they are always superfluous - created on commit chains that are already kept.
This will reduce the total number of keep-around refs create on .com by roughly 17k refs/day.
