Remove name attribute from internal pipelines API response

For guidance on the overall deprecations, removals and breaking changes workflow, please visit Breaking changes, deprecations, and removing features

Deprecation Summary

The name attribute in the internal pipelines API is to be removed in 15.7.

Breaking Change

Not a breaking change for customers since this only affects the internal API. Our frontend has already been updated to start using the new event_type_name attribute (!101354 (merged)). It currently falls back to the name attribute if it cannot find the event_type_name attribute. This was done for multi-version compatibility (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/multi_version_compatibility.html).

Affected Topology

The MR frontend uses the name attribute, in both Self-managed and SaaS. But users should not be affected by this deprecation since it affects only the internal API.
