Permissions added

Those permissions are needed to run services that create MergeRequest and create Vulnerability Feedback.
Security blocks
Even Bot can create MR, branch, and commits, nobody can steal it's identity because of next blocks:
[3] pry(main)> GlobalPolicy.new(User.security_bot, :global).can?(:log_in)
=> false
pry(main)> GlobalPolicy.new(User.security_bot, :global).can?(:access_api)
User Load (0.6ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."user_type" = $1 ORDER BY "users"."id" ASC LIMIT $2 [["user_type", 8], ["LIMIT", 1]]
=> false
