Do not evaluate ${username} and ${shardeduserid} in LabelTypes

Gerrit does ref pattern matching for any refs configured in
project.config. This includes username and shardeduserid. While that
makes sense for access control, it is confusing for labels.

Consider the following case:
- Label is configured on refs/heads/sandbox/${username}/*
- User A creates a change on User B's ref refs/heads/sandbox/B

We usually evaluate these patterns to match the current user. That would
mean that we get different labels depending on if user A or user B looks
at the change.

Alternatively, we could also evaluate the ref using the change owner,
but that would be wrong in the example as well.

This commit removes the option to have these magic operators in label
specs. Users who need this can use a wildcard instead.

Sandbox branches are rarely used and user-ref patterns in labels are also
not used very frequently. In fact, the way that Gerrit currently behaves
is not easy to understand I would doubt that people use user-ref
patterns on labels productively.

Gerrit Code Review

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

Build Status

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 IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.

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

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recursive 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 7 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-centos7[:version]

To run a Ubuntu 15.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritforge/gerrit-ubuntu15.04[:version]

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