Auto-merge should not be reset on push

Background
With the implementation of auto-merge we reset the auto-merge status if a push occurs to the branch. However, the long term vision for auto-merge is that we don't want it to be a user action and more something that "just happens".
Proposal
When a new push is made to the merge request, we should rely on the existing checks/configurations to gate whether or not we merge.
Additional details
For example, a project can be configured to reset approvals on push. So if we reset the approvals, then that becomes the new gate and once the approvals are given, we'll merge.
