Enable starting remote development workspace from gitlab-org/gitlab

Overview

Quoting @mvanremmerden's comment from Slack (internal):

Hey team 👋 Right now to use GitLab Workspaces to make changes to gitlab-org/gitlab, our developers need to start their workspace from gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit, which is not very clear to our own developers, and also different to how we had set up Gitpod, which people used before we had our own solution with GitLab Workspaces. Is there any chance we could change it to the same way as Gitpod works?

We should enable users to start their workpspaces from gitlab-org/gitlab so they don't have to navigate to gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit.
