Add setting in the UI for governing admin approval for new signups
What does this MR do?
For #257881 (closed)
This adds a setting in the admin UI for controlling the behaviour of new user registrations. This setting is disabled
by default.
- if enabled, admins will be required to manually approve any user that signs up on the instance, before they can start accessing GitLab.
- if disabled, no admin approval is required (this is the current behaviour)
This is behind a feature flag since we are developing this feature across multiple MRs. The flag will be removed once the whole feature is ready.
Changelog is skipped since this is behind a feature flag, hence there are no visible changes to customers.
