Make it possible to set different types of variables values (dropdown, checkbox, etc)
Release notes
Problem to solve
In #29159 (closed) we're making it possible to set an array of values as the pre-defined variable values for the manual pipeline run. The values are surfaced in the UI in a dropdown.
Some types of variable values require multi-selection, and using different UI treatment would greatly improve the process of running your pipeline with variables. Example use case and solution.
The problem is well defined in the discussions in this and this issues.

Proposal
We need to identify the different types of variable values we should support and design a way to present them in the UI for running the pipeline manually.
- The definition can happen in YAML at first
- In the future we should provide a UI for defining the variable values
