Enable `:download_code` on project for custom roles

Jessie Young requested to merge jy-reporter-download-code into master

What does this MR do and why?

  • Adds policy check on a project so that a user with a custom role based on the GUEST role can download code if that custom role allows it.
  • This is gated on the customizable_roles feature flag being turned on for now because we want to evaluate performance before making it generally available
  • The custom role check applies to a custom role anywhere within the project hierarchy. If any custom roles for that user enable download_code, then they can download code unless another policy check explicitly prevents that.
  • This is an additive-only approach. Meaning that download_code: false does not take away the ability for a guest user to download code on a public repository. But download_code: true enables this ability for guest users on a private repository, who by default cannot download code.
  • These custom roles can be defined via the API endpoints created here: !96996 (merged)
  • Issue: #370088 (closed)
