Incorrect gitlab-ci.yml syntax in API Security documentation

Problem

The documentation for API Security includes numerous examples of GitLab CI/CD YAML. Some of the examples use invalid/incorrect syntax that will cause errors if a user attempts to use them as-is.

Example of incorrect syntax:

variables:
  DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS=/auth

What is should look like:

variables:
  DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS: /auth

or

variables:
  - DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS=/auth

Proposal

Find all GitLab CI/CD YAML examples that use an = sign in variables and convert it to : , making sure that the items are not a list (prefixed with -.
