[MODERATION] add user blocking API

- Follow up for: #540, #802
- Add API routes for user blocking from user and organization
perspective.
- The new routes have integration testing.
- The new model functions have unit tests.
- Actually quite boring to write and to read this pull request.

[MODERATION] restore redirect on unblock

 ctx.RedirectToFirst(ctx.FormString("redirect_to"), ctx.ContextUser.HomeLink())

was replaced by

 ctx.JSONOK()

in 128d77a3a Following up fixes for "Fix inconsistent user profile layout across tabs" (#25739)

thus changing the behavior (nicely spotted by the tests). This
restores it.

(cherry picked from commit cfa539e590127b4b953b010fba3dea21c82a1714)

[MODERATION] Add test case (squash)

- Add an test case, to test an property of the function.

(cherry picked from commit 70dadb1916bfef8ba8cbc4e9b042cc8740f45e28)

[MODERATION] Block adding collaborators

- Ensure that the doer and blocked user cannot add each other as
collaborators to repositories.
- The Web UI gets an detailed message of the specific situation, the API
gets an generic Forbidden code.
- Unit tests has been added.
- Integration testing for Web and API has been added.
- This commit doesn't introduce removing each other as collaborators on
the block action, due to the complexity of database calls that needs to
be figured out. That deserves its own commit and test code.

[MODERATION] Remove blocked user collaborations with doer

- When the doer blocks an user, who is also an collaborator on an
repository that the doer owns, remove that collaboration.
- Added unit tests.
- Refactor the unit test to be more organized.

(cherry picked from commit ec8701617830152680d69d50d64cb43cc2054a89)
(cherry picked from commit 313e6174d832501c57724ae7a6285194b7b81aab)

[MODERATION] QoL improvements (squash)

- Ensure that organisations cannot be blocked. It currently has no
effect, as all blocked operations cannot be executed from an
organisation standpoint.
- Refactored the API route to make use of the `UserAssignmentAPI`
middleware.
- Make more use of `t.Run` so that the test code is more clear about
which block of code belongs to which test case.
- Added more integration testing (to ensure the organisations cannot be
blocked and some authorization/permission checks).
