Create a setting limit to manage rules:changes and rules:exists lists

Summary

We manage a monorepo with a long list of files and directories that may impact a particular component. At least transitionally, we would like to be able to control pipeline job inclusion by maintaining a precise list of these files and directories.

If this list is longer than 50 elements, then GitLab fails with an (incorrectly-worded) error about the number of elements being too many. We feel like the limit of 50 is arbitrary and we'd like to be able to either configure the limit or see it raised to a larger number.

Proposal

Within #216196, adjustments are made to a fixed limit to allow additional elements to be used without GitLab failing. Within this issue, the intention is for this limit to be configurable so that users can manage this limit as they see fit.
