Automatically pass variables to pipelines run via a multi-project trigger

Description

With #2772 (closed) we can pass explicit variables to triggers when using $CI_JOB_TOKEN. We could automatically pass "relevant" variables as part of this process.

Proposal

The trigger could automatically pass, in addition to CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE=pipeline, other information like project id, pipeline id, job id... from which in principle branch and commit could be obtained.

Links / references

Coming from #2772 (closed).
