Auto Deploy++

REPLACED BY AUTO DEVOPS++: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/38366

Plan for improving Auto Deploy:

9.3:

• Add $CI_ENVIRONMENT_URL as a build variable: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/25680

9.4:

• Add project ID to CI_ENVIRONMENT_URL in templates and auto deploy: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29401

9.5:

10.0 (covered by Auto DevOps (#37115):

• Auto Deploy should use helm chart: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30723
• Auto Deploy should use project's helm chart, if available: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29969
• Flatten auto deploy into single .gitlab-ci.yml: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29412
• Make Auto Deploy databases persistent: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/32826
• Add more services to Auto Deploy helm chart: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/32825
• Leverage Heroku CI in buildpacks for zero-configuration CI: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/26941
• Add test stage to auto deploy templates: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/27255

10.1:

• Proper private project handling: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/31591

Next 3-6 releases:

• Inject Auto Deploy Helm chart into project: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/32833
• Import/include common CI/CD content from one project into another's .gitlab-ci.yml: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20868
• Use Kubernetes RBAC: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29398

Unscheduled nice to haves:
