9.5:

10.0 (covered by Auto DevOps (#37115 (closed)):

• Auto Deploy should use helm chart: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30723
• Auto Deploy should use project's helm chart, if available: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29969
• Flatten auto deploy into single .gitlab-ci.yml: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29412
