Environments

Description including problem, use cases, benefits, and/or goals

Developers need to track the state of and interact with various environments such as staging and production.

Proposal

1. Augment .gitlab-ci.yml syntax to allow declaring environments for deploys
2. Add an environments list view, including what SHA is currently running
3. Add an environment detail view including history of deploys

Example .gitlab-ci.yml:

production:
  stage: deploy
  script: run-deployment $OMNIBUS_GITLAB_PACKAGE
  environment: production

The environment is just a hint for GitLab that this job actually did deployment to this environment. After looking for jobs and environments we can show what changes were deployed where.

(The mockup shows Environments in the side-bar, but this should be under a Pipelines tab in the side-bar, following #17008 (closed).)
