Allow self-signed CC tokens in development

Matthias Käppler requested to merge 467397-self-signed-dev-tokens into master

What does this MR do and why?

In #467397 we are looking to reduce our dependency on CustomersDot for locally testing AI features, even when not using GitLab.com simulation.

To that end, we suggest to reuse the CLOUD_CONNECTOR_SELF_SIGN_TOKENS environment variable, which will allow the local GL instance to issue tokens itself, without syncing with CDot first. This env var was originally introduced to support Custom Model development and air-gapped customers.

In this MR, my aim is to decouple this env var from Custom Model development so it can be used more generally to self-issue tokens.
