Build cloud native images on tags

DJ Mountney requested to merge trigger-cng-image into master

What does this MR do?

When on a tag, trigger a multi-project pipeline in the CNG repostiory.

Opting for a trigger rather than an addition to our release-tools project for a few reasons:

  • The Dockerfiles in the CNG image repo change infrequently, and as a result I don't feel the need/overhead for stable branches in that repo at this time
  • My intent with the CNG repo, is that once stable, the Dockerfiles would actualy move to their component projects, to be versioned with the code they are building
  • It is likely that we will want to followup with a manually triggered package for branches for devs, and possibly review apps, so it made sense to build the CNG ci jobs to accept this sort of pipeline.

Why was this MR needed?

For the Cloud Native charts Beta, we need to use versioned images so users aren't getting all the changes from master every time a container restarts.
