Improve documentation of RegExp in CI/CD job ref patterns
What does this MR do?
- correct one example of RegExp use for matching ref names in CI/CD job definitions
- add some more notes and tips for how RegExp behave in that context
Why?
The current documentation was misleading w.r.t. that topic, especially when the patterns also include a repo path. See
- #30477 (moved), particularly https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30477#note_29060568
- .gitlab-ci.yml: How to specify “only/except” rules with a regex AND repo-specific qualifier? on StackOverflow
