Draft: Add snippet triggers to run pipelines

Lee Faus requested to merge gitlab-community/gitlab:arbitrary-snippet-runners into master

What does this MR do and why?

This MR closes #456465. It is intended to let individuals run arbitrary executions from a Snippet. Currently, this uses the Pipeline Trigger capability so a project needs to have at least one project trigger. You will need to use the No Git option for the project .gitlab-ci.yml file and then update it to clone the snippet.
