Backport: Move release-environments pipeline to be sourced from master

Graeme Gillies requested to merge ggillies/backport-09079a-16-6 into 16-6-stable-ee

What does this MR do and why?

Part of gitlab-com/gl-infra/delivery#19905 (closed)

In order to make development of release-environments easier by reducing backports and skew of code across stable branches, we want to make it so regardless of GitLab version being deployed to a release-environment, we are always using the child-pipeline setup from master.

This means we can can make changes to the pipeline setup on master, and it will take effect across all stable branches.
