Remove the useIndex option in SSH commands change id parsing

The Change I34dbf53524 introduced a specific flag for parsing
the change id in SSH commands differently for some use-cases
where there is a requirement of NOT using a Lucene index lookup.

When the flag was introduced in v2.13, Gerrit had a radically
different architecture:

- The Git repository contained only the code
- All review metadata was stored in ReviewDb
- The primary key for looking up changes was the change number
  which did not require any Lucene lookups

At that time in v2.13, the introduction of the useIndex option
allowed to fix a specific SSH command for reindexing a change
in case it was missed during the change creation of patch-set
upload.

See Issue 313935024 for more details on how a Gerrit change
may end up with a stale or completely absent indexing entry.

Starting from v2.15 and then up to v3.0, the removal of
ReviewDb code-base was implemented without paying too much
attention on the consequences on the useIndex flag which was
ported "syntatically" to the newer releases but lost completely
its effectiveness. Also, the SSH commands did not have historically
enough test coverage, exposing the risks of a regression.

On the other side, the change finder is now clever enough
to use the index or the underlying repository depending on
the format of the change id, which makes a lot more sense
than a static decision based on the useIndex flag.

Also remove the unneeded reload of the change notes found and
loaded by the changeFinder, which was inadvertently added as part
of Change Idaeeb7d82.

TODO: Remove the flag completely after this change is
merged to master. The flag is kept unused in stable
versions for not invalidating the public signature
of the methods, which may be used by other parts of
Gerrit or other plugins.

Gerrit Code Review

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

Build Status Maven Central

Objective

Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.

Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.

Documentation

For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

Source

Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.

Reporting bugs

Please report bugs on the issue tracker.

Contribute

Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Please read the contribution guidelines.

Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.

Getting in contact

The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && bazel build release

Install binary packages (Deb/Rpm)

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here

On Debian/Ubuntu run:

    apt-get update && apt-get install gerrit=<version>-<release>

NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.

On CentOS/RedHat run:

    yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

On Fedora run:

    dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker

Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub

To run a CentOS 8 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-centos8

To run a Ubuntu 20.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-ubuntu20

NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
