Support Skipping CI Programmatically When Tagging
Summary
To prevent an additional pipeline, the release-cli currently relies on:
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
when: never
On every job or as a workflow rule.
This has the inadvertent consequence of not being able to use "Run Pipeline" against tags in the project.
Steps to reproduce
Attempt to run pipeline against a tag when the pipeline yaml includes the above rule to prevent pipelines when release-cli adds a tag - nothing happens.
Example Project

What is the current bug behavior?
Implementation requires a pipeline rule that prevents potentially desirable builds from being done.
What is the expected correct behavior?
release-cli should be able to programmatically prevent a pipeline similar to git push -o ci.skip (I don't know if release-cli actually uses a push or something else - just noting it is possible on push).
Possible fixes
Implement the equivalent of git push -o ci.skip in the release-cli.
