Feature flag for variables with potentially long values

drew stachon requested to merge feature-flag-long-mr-variables into master

What does this MR do?

This MR places a feature flag in front of two CI variables that are not yet functional but have potential performance issues once they are. There's a thorough discussion of the performance and abuse concerns here !31038 (comment 339351278) but for the time being this should be implemented to be safe.

The variables were originally introduced in 12.9, but there's an outstanding fix required to use them #212243 (closed) so putting in the feature flag shouldn't break any workflows.
