Create downstream pipeline inside same project

Fabio Pitino requested to merge create-downstream-pipeline-in-same-project into master

What does this MR do?

This is the first MR to support the creation of downstream pipeline inside the same project of the upstream pipeline.

In this MR we are changing Ci::CreateCrossProjectPipelineService (will be renamed after this MR) to detect when to create a cross project pipeline or a child pipeline (same project). Given that we haven't added support to trigger a child pipeline from the YAML syntax yet, we are assuming that a runtime yaml snippet is saved in the bridge job options and will be used by the above mentioned service to create a child pipeline.

The end goal is to allow a trigger defined as follow, to create a child pipeline which can run concurrently with the parent or other child pipelines.

child-pipeline-1:
  trigger:
    include: path/to/child-pipeline-1.yml

child-pipeline-2:
  trigger:
    include:
      - local: path/to/child-pipeline-2.yml
    strategy: depend

In this MR we are assuming that the content of trigger:include is saved in bridge.options as

{ 
  trigger: { 
    project: "groupname/projectname",
    yaml: "---\ninclude: path/to/child-pipeline-1.yml\n"
  }
}

If the upstream project is the same as downstream project AND a downstream YAML is defined, we create a child pipeline.

In subsequent MRs we add support for the YAML syntax, till then this feature won't be used. Documentation for this feature will be added at the end.
