Apollo MR pipelines - Implement run, retry and cancel buttons

Frédéric Caplette requested to merge 466725-apollo-mr-pipelines-implement-the-run-pipeline-button into master

What does this MR do and why?

This is behind a disabled FF mr_pipelines_graphql.

As part of our effort to migrate the Merge request page pipelines tab to GraphQL, we are now adding the run pipeline button functionality and all specs related to it. WE are removing the eventHub that took care of that action and instead execute the API call directly within the wrapper. In time, this REST action will be migrated to a graphql mutation](#420645).

We are also showing and implementing the logic for pipelines actions (retrying, cancelling, and refreshing).

In this state:

  1. Run pipeline button will appear and work when clicked. It should get to the loading state and show a message when the pipeline is being created. More importantly, you should see a new pipeline appear after some time.
  2. Actions on running pipeline to retry and cancel should work
  3. Pipelines count badge does not update when new pipelines are fetched. This will be implemented in: #467550 (closed)
  4. Manual actions dropdown does not render. This will be implemented in: #467551
  5. no mini graph as this will be implemented in: #419725
  6. No pagination as this will be implemented in: #423282
