Support branch ref in external repo CI/CD configuration file
What does this MR do?
Gitlab supports setting the CI/CD configuration file to an external repo with: .gitlab-ci.yml@mygroup/another-project but does not support setting a branch ref as part of it, although it is supported in the include syntax. This MR adds support for it with .gitlab-ci.yml@mygroup/another-project:ref. I'm open for a different syntax.
