What

Implements the inherit rule in CIAO, as described in https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/index.html#inherit.

The default sub-rule is not (yet ?) implemented, because it's not needed by the Tezos CI.

This rule is included in the trigger_job rule.

Why

It will be required for jobs that triggers child pipeline and needs to exclude (or include) variables in the child.

Such a use case is implemented in the follow-up MR !15901 (merged)
