Disable pipelines on default branch for non canonical projects

Niklas van Schrick requested to merge gitlab-community/gitlab:disable-default-branch-pipelines-in-non-canonical-projects into master

What does this MR do and why?

Disable pipelines on default branch for non canonical projects

We regularly see community contributors running out of pipeline minutes because they forgot to use -o ci.skip while pushing the updated master branch to their fork.

Currently we advise them to switch to the community fork to prevent them to use up their quota again, but that doesn't help them in the current month when they also use CI for other projects in their namespace.

We can disable these pipelines entirely as they serve no purpose on forks. This should help community contributors to not accidentially use up their entire pipeline minutes quota for the rest of the month.
