Add support for security policy project for Projects::CreateService

What does this MR do?

Addresses #335661 (closed) and based on !65830 (comment 630697095)

As a part of &5362 (closed), a GraphQL mutation was introduced to create security policy project for a given project. The newly created project should have the default branch protected and it should override the default branch protection configured for the group and only maintainers should have access to merge and no one having access to push to the default branch. But there was a bug in creating protected branch. The bug due to race-condition in creating protected branch for security policy project was because there were 2 independent write paths. But the fix to the race-condition as implemented in !65830 (closed) had performance problems because of transaction.

This MR moves the creation of security_orchestration_policy_configuration for the new project to Projects::CreateService by introducing a new parameter security_policy_target_project_id. This helps Projects::ProtectDefaultBranchService to check if the newly created project has security_orchestration_policy_configuration and override the branch protection rules. This is implemented in !66441 (merged) and this MR depends on !66441 (merged).
