insights: minor finishing touches to make historical insights better

Administrator requested to merge sg/codeinsights-knobs into main

Created by: slimsag

This PR contains a few minor adjustments to make historical data generation for insights a bit nicer:

  1. Adds tuning knobs that we can adjust through the site configuration, e.g. to make historical data generation go faster in deployments where this is desirable.
  2. Caches git.FirstEverCommit and disables the historical insights enqueuer by default in dev environments, due to some complaints it uses a lot of resources (expected) and is annoying in dev environments.
  3. Makes historical data generation 8x faster, by reducing precision: we now produce 1 data point per month for the last 6 months, instead of 1 data point per week for the last 52 weeks.
  4. Wipes existing DBs clean, to reduce confusion with the historical data generation timeframe change above.

Fixes #19089 (closed) Fixes #18961 (closed)
