Archive instead of detaching changesets

Administrator requested to merge mrn/keep-closed-merged into main

Created by: mrnugget

This adds the new "archive" operation for changesets to the backend that, instead of detaching them from their owning batch change, marks them as archived - if the feature flag in the site config is toggled on.

This is not 100% complete, see the TODOs below, but I wanted to open it for review since what's in here works, and I'm taking half a day off now, so I thought I could get some ✨ review magic ✨ happen while I'm not working.

The follow-up TODOs I'll address in other PRs, since they are pretty self-contained.

Follow-up TODOs:

  • Add button to burndown chart that toggles archived changesets on/off
  • Add number of archived changesets next to "archived" tab
  • After applying a spec and that archived changesets, show a dismissable note "14 changesets have been archived"
  • Backend: change the default scope to also exclude changesets where "Archive: true" so that they don't show up in the "changesets" tab when they're being reconciled to be archived, but instead show up in the "archived" tab
  • Add tooltips to operations, see https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/18559#issuecomment-802861387
