Introduce Project bot user

Aishwarya Subramanian requested to merge task_bot into master

What does this MR do?

This MR adds a new type if user - Project bot.

The idea is to utilize Task bot users as a means to generate project level access token.

In order to differentiate this user from other kind of users, we save the user_type as project_bot.

The user has it's own set of policies defined, as it's expected behavior does not map to any of the existing user types that we have.

Also, Project Bots are excluded from licenses.

Query for active users:

SELECT
  COUNT(*)
FROM
  "users"
WHERE ("users"."state" IN ('active'))
  AND (ghost IS NOT TRUE)
  AND ("users"."user_type" IS NULL
    OR "users"."user_type" NOT IN (2, 1, 3));
