What does this MR do?

Slack discussion at https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C3MAZRM8W/p1629388259368200

We use CI for deploying to GitLab.com and use resource_group to prevent multiple jobs from running concurrently. What we lack is the ability to prevent multiple pipelines from running concurrently (resource_group is at the job level). It looks like concurrency for actions https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#concurrency can work on groups which is a bit nicer. There is some discussion about making this better for GitLab in #217522
