Support for variables in include section of gitlab-ci.yml
What does this MR do?
This MR adds support to include predefined project variables in the include section of gitlab-ci.yml
It does so by expanding the variables when the external files are processed and mapped.
This step is one of the prerequisite for group-level compliance pipeline configuration to be able to use the predefined variable $CI_PROJECT_CONFIG_PATH in the include section.
The feature is gated behind the FF variables_in_include_section_ci, defaulting to false.
