Further improvements for Staging crawler

Nailia Iskhakova requested to merge web-sign-in-cookie-and-ignore-qa-sandbox into master

Related to gitlab-org/gitlab#349074 (closed)

Changes:

  • Streamline CI config - add check and test jobs
  • Skip gitlab-qa-sandbox-group groups and projects as they are being removed quickly and muddy the logs with 404 errors
  • Add documentation about env variables and exceptions
  • Support user sign in to get _gitlab_session cookie and set it for Web tests (using CSRF token and user credentials)

Details for authorisation:

Currently GitLab doesn't provide API endpoint to log in for Web requests and it's being explored in gitlab-org/gitlab#27271. This MR adds a crude workaround to sign in as GITLAB_USERNAME/GITLAB_PASSWORD user, get its _gitlab_session cookie and set it for Web requests.
