Follow-up from "Update SAST docs for leveraging existing builds"
Description
I'd like to have an env var instead of a parameter, for consistency. Example: gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/spotbugs!19 (closed)
The following discussion from !19647 (merged) should be addressed:
- 
@theoretick started a discussion: (+2 comments) Finally got around to resurrecting !9676 (closed), I've updated it to exclude some less relevant portions. @plafoucriere to address the main blocker previously, -compile=falseshould indeed be an ENV variable but that's a feature request. A request came up in conversation with @caneldem about this recently so my goal here is to document current state and available workarounds. With the work in #13477 (closed) we can formalize a variable/option to make this universal but frankly I just want this merged so we have something in place when people ask.
