Fix memory leak in CI config includes entry

Stan Hu requested to merge gb-fix-slow-ci-config-15-10 into 15-10-stable-ee

What does this MR do and why?

This backports !122462 (merged) to 15-10-stable-ee.

In GitLab 11.9, gitlab-foss!24098 (merged) introduced validation of include keywords. However, it quietly introduced a memory leak: any time a new include entry was instantiated, a proc would be added to the aspects class variable. As the list grew, the time taken to process other include keywords would grow.
