Update variables to disable autodevops jobs

Ben Prescott_ requested to merge docs-bprescott-20200907-autodevopsoff into master

What does this MR do?

Customer raised ticket (internal links) asking how to disable jobs in the autodevops Test stage.

Stood up a test ruby project, and the off-variables for some of the jobs are not documented. Added them.

  • Added in the secrets jobs

Job names have changed as well.

  • MR for license_scanning rename sourcing 12.8
  • Could not easily establish how long it's been code_quality and not codequality.
  • Could not easily establish how long it's been container_scanning and not sast:container.

I've kept the job names that are already documented [a] because I cannot be certain that there isn't a job with that name, somewhere, and [b] so the docs work for folks on older versions.

There's a bunch more of jobs in our code base, but I don't know if they get picked up by autodevops.

It might be useful to link into our code base so folk can find the variables? Thoughts?
