Release v2.4.0: changes VERSION from 2.3.1 to 2.4.0 and nothing else. When this merges, CD tags v2.4.0, creates the GitHub release with sim.war, publishes the Docker image, and deploys to acctest.

Release notes

What's Changed

• Let the GitLab sync leave out groups and projects listed in the new GITLAB_SYNC_EXCLUDE_CSV setting, which defaults to acc/scratch (Let the GitLab sync leave out groups and projects #53)
• Match GitHub and GitLab descriptions with line breaks after a sync, so they no longer show for update after every sync (Match GitHub and GitLab descriptions with line breaks after a sync #52, fixes GitLab project description field with newlines sync mismatch #31)
• Give the assessment dialog's Risk Inputs selects one width (Give the assessment dialog's Risk Inputs selects one width #51)
• Keep the directory's SQA Level on one line (Keep the directory's SQA Level on one line #50)
• Show one maintainer username per line (Show one maintainer username per line #49)
• Keep the assessment dialog's buttons clear of its footer (Keep the assessment dialog's buttons clear of its footer #48)

Oracle DB Migration Notes

Recommended after deploying 2.4.0. Run container/oracle/upgrade/2.4.0_gitlab_sync_exclude.sql once, as SIM_OWNER, on each existing database, acctest included. It adds the setting. Until it runs, the GitLab sync leaves out nothing, as in 2.3.x, so the app works either way:

insert into SIM_OWNER.SETTING (KEY, VALUE, TYPE, DESCRIPTION, TAG, WEIGHT) values ('GITLAB_SYNC_EXCLUDE_CSV', 'acc/scratch', 'CSV', 'CSV of GitLab paths the GitLab sync leaves out, each a group (with its subgroups and projects) or a project, such as acc/scratch or acc/ops/demo.  Not case sensitive.  To leave out none, set a path no project has.', 'SYNC', 1);

commit;

If you are upgrading from 2.2.x, apply the 2.3.0 migration (container/oracle/upgrade/2.3.0_sqa_control_level.sql) first.

The GitLab descriptions removed as #31's workaround can be put back; descriptions already synced need no change.

Checks

• ./gradlew build on this branch: passed, and built build/libs/sim.war.
• I did not rerun the integration tests for the release. Each included pull request ran them against its own branch (52 tests passed on Let the GitLab sync leave out groups and projects #53, the last one merged), and this PR changes only VERSION.
• v2.3.1's release exists, so nothing is pending from earlier releases.

Decisions

• 2.4.0, minor: Let the GitLab sync leave out groups and projects #53 adds a feature and a setting; the rest are fixes. The upgrade script's name already assumes 2.4.0.
