Document tests run in CI

What does this MR do and why?

This MR is similar to what have been done in: !3789 (merged) to document available CI scenario.

Today the CI is not very well documented and it may be complex to know which tests are perform and how a developer can add his own test. This doc try to partially solve that.

Introduce a new Readme.md file here: .gitlab/ci/tests/README.md, this file explain:

  • how tests are included in CI deployments
  • how to write a new test for the CI using the current gitlab-ci "framework"
  • list all the tests currently available

The MR also provide a .sh script, .gitlab/ci/scripts/generate-tests-description.sh to update the list of CI tests in the Readme file.

A CI check similar to the one we have for scenario doc is alos added to be sure that the file is updated when needed. the pre-commit hook is also updated to run this script.

The idea is to import the content of this file dynamically in the Sylva portal (dev-zone?)

Global config for deployment pipelines

  • autorun pipelines
  • allow failure on pipelines

Notes:

  • Enabling autorun will make deployment pipelines to be run automatically without human interaction
  • Disabling allow failure will make deployment pipelines mandatory for pipeline success.
  • if both autorun and allow failure are disabled, deployment pipelines will need manual triggering but will be blocking the pipeline

Be aware: after configuration change, pipeline is not triggered automatically. Please run it manually (by clicking the run pipeline button in Pipelines tab) or push new code.
