Add new GitLab CI/CD predefined environment variables: CI_COMMIT_AUTHOR
Release notes
Previously, if you wanted to know the author of a commit, you would need to retrieve this with an extra API call. Now this details is readily available as predefined CI/CD variables by using CI_COMMIT_AUTHOR
.
Thanks to Craig Andrews for this contribution!

Proposal
The variable CI_COMMIT_AUTHOR seems to be missing in the predefined variables.
The only way to get the author of a commit is to do an extra API call.
Is there any problem to include it in the predefined variable ?
