DB schema generated by a migration may look different in
rails 4 and 5 (because rails 5 may use different default values).
For this reason it's important to explicitly set for which rails
version a migration was written for.

Migrations shouldn't fail RuboCop checks - especially lint checks, such
as the nested method check. To avoid changing code in existing
migrations, add the magic comment to the top of each of them to skip
that file.

This improves performance of the duplicate notification settings
migration by removing duplicates in batches instead of using one big
"DELETE FROM" query.

The previous query would locally run over 45 minutes without even
finishing. This new setup finished in a matter of seconds.
