Create CI YAML template using child/parent pipelines with `Jsonnet`

Problem to solve

We recently introduced dynamic child pipelines which allows for generating a .gitlab-ci.yml at runtime and starting a pipeline based on the generated YAML. However, we don't provide good examples for how this can be done and what other kinds of tools are out there that can make this easy.

Intended users

User experience goal

Proposal

Add a .gitlab-ci.yml or project template that demonstrates a competent implementation of this. Project template is probably more realistic as there will be supporting template files.
