Replace trigger jobs with branch build jobs

Balasankar 'Balu' C requested to merge replace-trigger-jobs into 6592-all-os-trigger

What does this MR do?

Trigger jobs and their branch build counterparts essentially do the same thing. Now that we have the ability to run any pipeline type on any mirror, let's consolidate them.

Changes

  1. Replace Trigger: jobs with branch build counterparts
  2. Tag QA image using version tag instead of commit SHA. As far as I can tell, no one actually uses the commit SHA tag, and it was added in !4259 (merged) to fix #5369 (closed), where the requirement was the presence of a docker image - it didn't matter what the tag was.

To note

  1. The jobs that run in dev.gitlab.org use a dedicated runner and cache bucket for them. So, having the same job definition in .com pipelines won't pollute the cache.
