Add gitlab-ci.yml pages templates for top SSGs
Problem to solve
Setting up a GitLab pages project is much easier if you have a template to follow. As part of the Experience Baselines and Recommendations initiative, it was determined the presence of a template can make the process much less daunting. There are a lot of static site generators and including templates for all of them would be challenging, but support for the most popular SSGs would provide the best chance for a positive experience for most users.
Current support for the 20 most popular static site generators as listed by https://www.staticgen.com/
