Display deployment tier on the environments page

Release notes

Problem to solve

As a user viewing my environments on the environment page, I want to easily identify which deployment tier each environment has.

Intended users

User experience goal

The user should be able to see the deployments tier previously defined on the .gitlab-ci.yml from the UI

Proposal

🌀 See Mockups in Design Management

  • Add a Badge component for the deployment tier next to the environment name
  • Add a Tooltip component on hover on the deployment tier badge, written: Deployment tier

The current supported types are:

  • production
  • staging
  • testing
  • development
  • other

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

This issue is hard to measure by analytics, since it's a piece of information that cannot be interacted with -- but implementing it will pave the way for more high value functionality in the future, such as filtering environments and deployments by tier.

Further details

` This will allow interfacing the environment type from the yaml to the UI
