Add job for custom tests

Adds a manual job that lets you specify the scenario, release, tests, and tags, allowing you to run any tests on demand.

• QA_SCENARIO - the scenario to run (default Test::Instance::Image)
• QA_TESTS - the test(s) to run (no default, which means run all the tests in the scenario)
• QA_RSPEC_TAGS - the RSpec tags to add (no default)

Useful if you want to run a specific test a few times, or a subset of tests in a particular order.

---

Update: Unfortunately, this isn’t as useful as intended because for now it’s not possible to retry the job with the custom variables

To test I set RELEASE to registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/build/omnibus-gitlab-mirror/gitlab-ee-qa:6601069bbe422156c75839c03e54b57c8f9cc4b8 and QA_TESTS to qa/specs/features/ee/browser_ui/6_release/multi-project_pipelines_spec.rb and it passed the values to rspec via docker via gitlab-qa as expected: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-qa/-/jobs/389384446
