Explicitly make manual CI jobs non-blocking

Balasankar 'Balu' C requested to merge 5748-make-manual-jobs-optional into master

What does this MR do?

When not using rules, when: manual had a default allow_failure: true associated with it. However, when using rules, when:manual has allow_failure: false associated with it. When we did the refactor in !4188 (merged), we missed this fact and this caused manual job to be blocking and end up causing #5748 (closed).

From https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#whenmanual

allow-failure-docs

This MR changes situation regarding allow_failure to what it was before !4188 (merged) was merged.
