[PATCH 1/2] CI: Allow job tag to be optionally set globally

From: Peter Hoyes <Peter.Hoyes at arm.com>

The default behavior of Gitlab runners is to only run jobs which match
the configured tag, although there is an option to run untagged jobs
[1].

To support running the CI in more complex environments where different
types of runners may be present that support different tags, allow the
DEFAULT_TAG for all jobs in the pipeline to be set globally using an
environment variable. An empty default value is provided to retain
support for untagged runners.
