Prevent user-defined variables from being used by non-maintainers

What does this MR do?

Related to #295234 (closed)

This MR introduces a project setting restrict_user_defined_variables that when enabled allows only maintainers to set pipeline variables when triggering a pipeline. For example, via git push options or when running a pipeline manually in the UI.

MR moved from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security/gitlab/-/merge_requests/1134 since it's a feature instead.
