Add Manual Omnibus and follow up e2e jobs

Sanad Liaquat requested to merge qa-shl-manual-omnibus-trigger-and-followup-e2e-jobs into master

What does this MR do and why?

Background

In !122896 (merged), we introduced a message/comment that would ask to start e2e:package-and-test-ee job on MR when selective e2e tests are detected. However, we came to know that in order to start e2e:package-and-test-ee job, the user would need to first start trigger-omnibus-env manually, then trigger-omnibus and then e2e:package-and-test-ee. This was bad UX. See this Slack thread (internal link) for the feedback and context. We decided to disable the message until we found a way to tie those jobs together so that they would run with once click.

Changes in this MR

This MR adds new manual wrapper jobs that would trigger Omnibus and e2e:package-and-test-ee as an automatic follow-up (Thanks @godfat-gitlab for the suggestion).

Also makes trigger-omnibus-env job automatic.
